TSM for this advice.

As I'm not used to having to "take great care" like this, I would
appreciate confirmation that what I've done is likely to be useful.

I've dropped a file into /etc/apt/preferences.d/ containing
the following text.

Package: linux-image-amd64
Pin: version 6.1.55-1
Pin-Priority: 1100

As I noticed that an upgrade to 6.1.64-1 was also in line for
linux-libc-dev, I did the same for this package too.

As a result, apt-cache policy is telling me

linux-image-amd64:
  Installed: 6.1.55-1
  Candidate: 6.1.55-1
  Version table:
     6.1.64-1 500
        500 https://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
 *** 6.1.55-1 1100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     6.1.52-1 500
        500 https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security/main amd64 Packages
linux-libc-dev:
  Installed: 6.1.55-1
  Candidate: 6.1.55-1
  Version table:
     6.1.64-1 500
        500 https://ftp.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
 *** 6.1.55-1 1100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     6.1.52-1 500
        500 https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security/main amd64 Packages

Thanks in anticipation of a simple yes or no.
