Understood on the behavior of the backports.  The intent of the
question was does every component installed when configuring
samba need to be from backports (ie  apt-get install acl attr samba 
samba-dsdb-modules samba-vfs-modules winbind libpam-winbind 
libnss-winbind krb5-config krb5-user dnsutils) or just the package
'samba'.

You could possibly use the acl, attr, krb5-config, krb5-user and 
dnsutils from the standard Debian bullseye repo, but all the Samba 
packages must come from backports if you you are going to install 
'samba' from backports, otherwise you could end up with a mixture of 
versions (Debian will probably not allow that). If you are going to 
install some of those packages from backports, you might as well install 
all of them.
