 You can also check who did the actual update. For 2.2.10-2+deb11u2.
[1] it's Salvatore Bonaccorso and for 2.2.6-2+deb10u3 [2] it's him
again. But I can answer your question as well. You can get the
corresponding debian files, expat_2.2.10-2+deb11u2.debian.tar.xz [3]
and expat_2.2.6-2+deb10u3.debian.tar.xz [4].
For example, if you download the former, under debian/patches/ you
will find the backported patches. File naming follows the commit
messages. That is, for this commit it's the
lib-Detect-and-prevent-troublesome-left-shifts-in-fu.patch file.
