The version of xtables-addons in Bullseye (3.13-1+deb11u1) is not
compatible with linux 6.2, so DKMS fails when it tries to compile the
kernel modules for your kernel version (6.2.7-kirkwood-tld-1).  Since
that is not an official Debian Bullseye kernel package, I'm going to tag
the bug-report "wontfix" and close it.

Support for 6.2 was added to xtables-addons in a later version and will
be available in the next Debian release, Bookworm.
