Miguel, thanks for the heads-up!  Kernel 4.19.0-4 (4.19.28-2) does seem to
work okay.

However, I must note that if I hadn't seen the post from Miguel I would not
have known that the new kernel version was there. I was actually thinking
it would be 4.19.0-5 (4.19.28-2), or even 5.0.2-1.

Updating as normal didn't let me know:
doofus@doofus:~$ sudo aptitude -Pvvv update
Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease

Current status: 0 (+0) broken, 0 (+0) upgradable, 58940 (+0) new.

(Perhaps because I did:

sudo aptitude purge linux-image-4.19.0-4-amd64

as soon as I saw the original problem?)

As of now, I still get:

doofus@doofus:~$ sudo aptitude search linux-image

And:

It might have been better to name the new version 4.19.0-5?

But, checking further, synaptic did show 4.19.28-2 (upstream version
number?) if you look closely.  And The Debian packages page shows the new
version also.

So, I think it would really be nice if the apt system would be more helpful
in situations like this.

End of complaint.
