linux kernel versions in stable

There are many signs of a new kernel version in the latest updates: linux-libc-dev, linux-source, linux-kbuild all show an upgrade available from 5.10.162-1 to 5.10.178-2. Conspicuously absent are any of the linux-image packages; the most recent ones are 5.10.162-1. I figured they might just be
