This might actually need a followup for src:context similar to what
was done for bookworm once fixing the CVE (was done in a point release
doe to beeing no-dsa). The problem is highlighted here:

https://www.maxchernoff.ca/p/luatex-vulnerabilities#luasocket

When you install texlive-binaries and context in bullseye:

# apt-get install context texlive-binaries
[...]
Setting up texlive-binaries (2020.20200327.54578-7+deb11u2) ...
[...]
Setting up texlive-metapost (2020.20210202-3) ...
Setting up texlive-luatex (2020.20210202-3) ...
Setting up texlive-plain-generic (2020.20210202-3) ...
Setting up context (2020.03.10.20200331-1) ...
Running mtxrun --generate. This may take some time... done.
Pregenerating ConTeXt MarkIV format. This may take some time...

will hang here.

In bookworm for src:context you have the following change as well
(which might need adaption for older verisons);

https://sources.debian.org/src/context/2021.03.05.20230120%2Bdfsg-1%2Bdeb12u1/debian/patches/enable_socket_in_mtxrun/

Can you have a look?
