Well, it's not lcl-utils that depends on libc6, but lcl-utils-2.2. You 
don't ask lcl-utils-2.2 to be installed from backports. Do you happen to 
also have testing or unstable in your apt sources? I think apt tries to 
install it from there.

Maybe running apt install with the -t option set to bullseye-backports 
yields better results?

What's the output of
$ apt policy lcl-utils
and
$ apt policy lcl-utils-2.2
