Go to https://packages.debian.org; Search on, say, linux-binary (as there's already a linux-base) in any distribution; Observe packages are trixie-backports, foxy and later, so go back and set, say, foxy only; In the list, click on your favourite architecture, say, amd64; On the resulting page, https://packages.debian.org/forky/linux-binary-6.19.8+deb14-amd64 click on Debian Changelog and search for Blank . Cheers, David.
