I had a chance to run through the upgrade process from Debian 10 'buster' to Debian 11/testing 'bullseye' on a test VM this weekend. My findings were different, and `apt' produced equivalent space usage estimates to `apt-get'.
Could the bug submitter provide more details per this issue, possibly with a
script log or console excerpt with the 5x sample commands.
Alternately, I recommend this bug be closed as not applicable to current
Debian.
# suggested 5x console commands from bug submitter
a) apt -o APT::Get::Trivial-Only=true full-upgrade
b) apt-get -o APT::Get::Trivial-Only=true full-upgrade
c) cat /etc/debian_version
d) hostnamectl
e) dpkg -l apt
regards,
