There is no such package libemail-message-perl in Debian Unstable and Bullseye.

At least nothing in the upstream CHANGELOG, also not for
Email::Address (see below)

I think you meant libemail-address-perl instead of
libemail-message-perl above. Retitling accordingly.

At least those lines in the metadata came in the with 0.920 upstream
release according to git blame. But then again if you say
buster-backports is affected, too. So maybe upstream missed to
document that dependency in the metadata of 0.914, too, added it (or
regenerated it) for 0.920, but forgot to mention it in
CHANGELOG.

Will prepare a fix.
