Few things:

You're always going to want to show the command that you ran in addition
to the error that you got.

This has to do with the debian packages, and not to postgres itself, so
this other list is a better place to ask than -hackers:
https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-pkg-debian/

I think you'll need to use a command like
sudo apt-get install postgresql-16 -t buster-pgdg-snapshot
