Looks like package is getting imported directly from Debian:

The package fastapi 0.115.5-3 has been added to kali-rolling.
It has been imported from Debian: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fastapi

https://pkg.kali.org/news/621773/fastapi-01155-3-imported-into-kali-rolling/

so probably needs a bug report towards Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=fastapi
