Hey.

I guess this might be actually an issue in grub-common’s /etc/grub.d/10_linux,
so please re-assign accordingly if so (I still thought kernel team should
get a heads up).

When I had
  6.16.12+deb14
and
  6.16.12+deb14+1
both installed, than it seems that grub menu considered the latter "older"
and kept 6.16.12+deb14 as the "main" kernel.

Cheers,
Chris.
