Debian 11 (bullseye) reached the end of its LTS window on 2026-08-31 (https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/). Its security suite is now frozen (Release file's own Date field is stuck at that exact moment) and packages are becoming unreliable to fetch - this has been repeatedly breaking salt-ci-containers' testing:debian-11 image build, in turn blocking publication of every other image in the same run (fail-fast: false doesn't help here since the downstream merge/publish job still needs every build job to succeed). Salt's own published support policy already excludes this case: 'Debian stable, oldstable, and oldoldstable (if it is not EOL) versions.' Debian 11 is oldoldstable and is now EOL, so it falls outside Salt's own supported list. Follows the same pattern as the debian-10 removal (69495e9): drop the CI job and bump __check_end_of_life_versions' Debian threshold from <11 to <12, matching the same hard-block convention already used for other EOL distros (e.g. ALT Linux's <10 check). debian-13 was already scaffolded in generate.py (its git-version blacklist entries were pre-populated, just commented out of the base distro lists) - move it from commented to active in LINUX_DISTROS/ STABLE_DISTROS/ONEDIR_DISTROS so Debian keeps CI coverage. Its existing blacklist entries correctly keep it out of git-3006/git-3007/ git-master while allowing git-3008, so no further changes were needed there. testing:debian-13's container image already builds successfully in salt-ci-containers, unlike debian-11.
debian-11 was already dropped from LINUX_DISTROS/STABLE_DISTROS/ ONEDIR_DISTROS, so these blacklist and display-name entries were dead weight with no effect on the generated workflow. Confirmed ci.yml is unchanged after regenerating.
