Hi Christoph,

Right, since it was Ben himself replying on the debian-lts thread (who
is maintaining the kernel for LTS and ELTS) I will reopen the bug and
see with him if we want to do that.

In LTS and ELTS they provide multiple source packages and support
them, and that was my point that we won't do that for stable.

But maybe he has a concrete idea on providing additional metapackages
only to be used in the bookworm-backports provided versions so once
you have backports enabled you could install those via these package
names as well.

Regards,
Salvatore
