Dear Maintainer,

I have been running the stable Bookworm release with the backport kernel for mabe
a year at this point to have proper non-buggy 3d acceleration in Steam
games. With the latest update for the backported kernel apt upgrade
keeps back the packages linux-headers-amd64 and linux-image-amd64.
Following back and forth and advice from
forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=824473 I ran the command:
'apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64
linux-headers-amd64'. It does not keep the kernel packages back anymore
but it now outputs that 132 packages are not upgraded. Since I do not
wish to have a bricked system and have to install an operating system
from scratch I did not run the command to see what it does.

I welcome advice on how to proceed with my system at the moment.
