That is NOT what it said, at all.

What it said was "Hey, I looked on the internets and I saw this other
kernel that might be newer than the one you're running, so maybe you
wanna check this other kernel first and see if it's still got the same
bug, before you report this."

But it's NOT actually newer than yours.  It's the same as yours.  It just
has a bigger, fancier version string because it's a backport.  So it
kinda looks newer if you are a not very bright software construct.

That's why I suggested ignoring the message.

You are not running a "bookworm (= stable)" system.  You're running
unstable.  This doesn't change my analysis, but it's something you should
be aware of.

When you mix binary repositories of unstable, testing and bookworm,
you are by definition running unstable.  "But pinning!"  Nope.  It's an
unstable system, no matter how many hoops you jump through trying to
control the frankendebian.
