Yup, sure!
And in the list printed during boot there are both, with DEBIAN 
preceding BOOKWORM. I see both var files being read & printed.

Since the first workaround didn't work (even after changing 'echo' to 
'cat'), I resorted to adding files/etc/apt/sources.list/BOOKWORM64 with 
the needed lines.
At least now the packages get fetched from the right repository, but "it 
smells worse than my yesterday diaper" (Baby Herman)...
