Debian Developers the freeze plan for the Debian 11 "Bullseye" package base. The release of Debian 11 is expected in mid-2021.
On January 12, 2021, the first stage of the package base freeze will begin, during which "transitions" (updating packages that require dependency adjustments for other packages, leading to temporary removal of packages from Testing) will cease, and updates for packages necessary for build will also be halted ().
On February 12, 2021, a soft freeze of the package base will take place, during which the acceptance of new source packages will be stopped and the possibility of reincluding previously removed packages will be closed.
On March 12, 2021, a hard freeze will be applied before the release, during which the process of migrating key packages and packages without autopkgtests from unstable to testing will be completely halted. This phase will mark the start of intensive testing and resolving release-blocking issues. The hard freeze stage is being introduced for the first time and is seen as a necessary intermediate phase before a full freeze encompassing all packages. The timing for the complete freeze has not been definitively established yet.
