In the meantime I adapted the patches in different agrep sources to
the glimpse package, which already contained the agrep binary.
Alexander Zangerl merged these patches into his official glimpse
package and added "Provides: agrep" to the package.

In parallel I changed ding, the only package, which reverse depended
on agrep (via Suggests), to "Recommends: glimpse" instead of
"Suggests: agrep".

So from my point of view, it would the easiest way to simply remove
agrep from the archive in sid and bullseye, since it is no longer
needed.
