Yeah it seems:

postgis/buster-pgdg 3.0.2+dfsg-4.pgdg100+1 amd64 [upgradable from:
3.0.2+dfsg-2.pgdg100+1]

has introduced a dependency on Postgres 13.

That is something the packagers would need to answer. You can try at 
Contact here:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt#Contact

Or by filing an issue here:

FYI, for the above you will need a community account.
