Your above statement implies strongly that one boots up their device using linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64

Please see Greg's reply to my other post (URL: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/12/msg00640.html).

For your convenience, I quote a section of his reply (see below):

"Yes, because linux-image-amd64 *right now* depends on linux-image-6.1.0-15-amd64.  Removing linux-image-6.1.0-15-amd64 will therefore remove linux-image-amd64."

Removing the buggy linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 will also remove the metapackage linux-image-amd64.

Thank goodness it only happens once in a blue moon.

Someone might wish to add to Debian's wiki on how to deal with the situation of having a buggy kernel made available via the official repos, a few hours later a warning against upgrading to it and the release team failing to pull it out of the official repos.

Best wishes.
