linux-image-6.1-* in Debian Bookworm

[Christopher Huhn]

Hi y'all




So I'd propose that linux-image-amd64 on Debian stable simply
> Provides: linux-image-6.1-amd64
and likewise for other flavors.

What would have to be done to get this implemented?

Cheers

Christopher

LTS and ELTS provide backports of the stable kernel for all releases from Stretch to Bullseye. This is a very nice feature making it possible to run the same kernel version on a whole fleet with diverse Debian releases. There are also appropriate meta-packages like linux-image-6.1-amd64 in every release. One caveat though: No meta-packages including major.minor ie. linux-image-6.1-* exist in Debian stable.
