Every time I do a point release upgrade on Debian the whole system breaks. It’s so smooth until that point, but if I have to reinstall the OS anyway then I’m going back to EndeavourOS (which is what I’m using now)
No weird config at all. I love the Debian experience specifically because it gets out of your way and I don’t have to jump through any hoops. But then they release a new version, I do the massive scary upgrade, and it just stops working. It happened a few times, so I just don’t do it anymore.
That’s not a point release, though. A point release upgrade is like going from 13.5 to 13.6. That’s usually so few packages that you’d have to do something extreme to break it.

This was my experience with Linux Mint. I love stable distros n all but these OS updates are scary.
You must have a very strange apt config to break Debian with a point-release upgrade.
