If you install linux-image-5.4.2-gnu for example you will forever be stuck on 5.4.2 so that's not what you want to do.

The idea is you don't install the linux-image packages directly but one of the metapackages, which then pull in the linux-image packages as a dependency. Those metapackages are the ones that enable you to get updates to newer versions according to whatever sort of upgrade rules you want. They are described in detail in the table on https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ along with the upgrade rules that go along with them. Find a rule (aka "use case") you like, and install the package shown.
