Nothing forces the transitional fwupdate to be installed, thus the package relationships allow some kind of partial upgrade: the combination of fwupdate/buster and fwupd/bullseye to be installed at the same time, which creates the mess. The Breaks will fix this - either fwupdate from buster gets removed or upgraded to the transitional package in bullseye if fwupd from bullseye is being installed.
