Thanks for the tip.

Somehow "trixie-proposed-updates" gets priority 500 which is wrong and
it should be treated like "trixie-backports" with lower priority.
I don't see the difference between them, if there is no guarantee that
packages will not vanish from there.
Perhaps apt can not distinguish cases when some package version is
removed from backports and from proposed updates, so it just picks 100
(locally installed and missed in repositories) to 100 (backports)
upgrade.
I will pin everything from "trixie-proposed-updates" to lower priority,
so packages from this source won't be considered as candidates.
And wait long enough to get candidate versions from "stable-updates".
Probably it is good idea to report somewhere about this issue, so it
gets a proper fix.
