Yes, and now I try to install the GNU Mailutils source package on a Pi3B 
with Bullseye OS. Meaning, try to rebuild the (ancient) package as is, and 
as next steps, to replace the source tgz, do some adaptations and try to 
get this built, also.

By some reason, Synaptic install GUI does only show the sources for a few 
packages, and Mailutils is not among them.

/etc/apt/sources.list contains

deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib non-
free rpi      
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ bullseye main contrib 
non-free rpi

Is there one more repo to activate, so that it shows up for downloading?

Thank you!
