I don't think you need the real package there - postgresql-12-plr has been removed a year ago, and the dependency is even wrong in the released bullseye package. I'd just drop it and go with postgresql-plr. Afaict the "real package first" requirement is only there for build-dependencies. So far we have refrained from adding empty dependency packages to each of the PG extension packages because there's already enough micro-packages, and these extra packages don't even solve the problem completely.
