The debian:bullseye Docker image is produced by Debian developers,
but is not an official Debian product.
It's built by <https://github.com/debuerreotype/debuerreotype>.

If you used debootstrap or mmdebstrap to create your own chroot or
container that only includes bullseye, and not bullseye-security or
bullseye-updates, then you would get libc6 (= 2.31-13+deb11u4) in
the chroot/container, and libc6-dev (= 2.31-13+deb11u4) would install
successfully.

However, because you're using a container image that has been made
by someone else, what you do with that container afterwards needs to
be consistent with the assumptions they made when they created the
image. Specifically, the debuerreotype maintainers bootstrapped that
Docker image with bullseye-security and bullseye-updates included. That
means you can't assume that an apt source for plain bullseye is sufficient
to get a full set of matching packages.

(I think the debuerreotype team were correct to include -security and
-updates in their images: for most use-cases, you'll want those.)
