Hi I suppose you could install linux-image-amd64/bookworm-backports, and then for stable create:
/etc/cron.daily/linux-stable with permissions 755, and contents: apt-get -fy install $(apt-cache depends linux-image-amd64/bookworm-security|grep Depends|sed \'s/.*ends:\ //\' | tr '\n' ' ') Your system probably won't delete older unused stable kernels automatically then.
