Debian bullseye fully frozen

Hi,

We have just reached the next milestone in the bullseye release: full freeze. From now on, each and every package that needs to migrate from unstable to testing needs to be manually unblocked by the Release Team.

Please only request unblocks for changes that we really need in bullseye and double check our freeze policy [1] and FAQ [2] for what we mean by that. If you request an unblock, please use `reportbug` to get the tags right, we heavily rely on them in our workflows.
If there's any issue that our users should know when upgrading, please don't forget to file a bug against the release-notes pseudo package if it's not yet included [3].

On behalf of the Release Team,
Paul
