Version: 6.19.6-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The recent kernel update on Forky caused some issue during upgrade that
the latest kernel `linux-image-6.19.6+deb14+1-amd64' is not the default
after rebooting and the previous kernel `linux-image-6.19.6+deb14-amd64'
is still selected. See also a user report[1] and my response[2] as well
as other people's analysis on how the kernel sequence is
determined[3][4].

I would suggest using a better naming scheme or change the way how
kernels are sorted to ensure the later kernel versions have higher
precedence and selected by default in Grub. Manually selecting a kernel
in Grub can be cumbersome for average users.
