I am using a kernel from backports on Beowulf and just noticed something strange.
$ apt policy linux-image-amd64
linux-image-amd64:
Installed: 5.10.70-1~bpo10+1
Candidate: 5.10.70-1~bpo10+1
Version table:
*** 5.10.70-1~bpo10+1 100
100 http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.19+105+deb10u13 500

4.19+105+deb10u9 500
500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security/main amd64 Packages
Searching my apt package cache shows that the latest kernel I have is dated 30-October-2021:
$ ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives |grep linux-image-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48399932 Jul 19 2021 linux-image-4.19.0-17-amd64_4.19.194-3_amd64.deb

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53505900 Oct 30 16:58 linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64_5.10.70-1~bpo10+1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1504 Aug 19 2021 linux-image-amd64_5.10.46-4~bpo10+1_amd64.deb
A little research shows that the version I have is the latest version available for download:
Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.9-amd64 (5.10.70-1~bpo10+1)
https://packages.debian.org/buster-back … po.9-amd64
However, if you click on the Debian Changelog link on the right-hand side of that page, you'll see this at the top of the page:
linux-signed-amd64 (5.10.92+1~bpo10+1) buster-backports; urgency=medium
* Sign kernel from linux 5.10.92-1~bpo10+1
* Rebuild for buster-backports:
- Change ABI number to 0.bpo.11

February 3, 2022 was over a month ago. What's going on?

Hi, if you want a newer version of the kernel you might consider upgrading to chimaera
I have kernel ver 5.15.x from backports (bpo).
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera main non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-proposed-updates contrib non-free main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-updates contrib non-free main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-backports main non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-security main non-free contrib
The kernel you have may be stable, but slow turn-over to newer versions.
<edit> since posting this remark I just installed kernel 5.16... bpo chimaera.</edit>

@OP: can we see the full output of
# apt update
I see this when I add beowulf-backports to my Debian bullseye system:
$ apt policy linux-image-amd64
linux-image-amd64:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 5.10.92-2
Version table:
5.10.92-2 500
500 https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main amd64 Packages
5.10.92-1~bpo10+1 100
100 http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports/main amd64 Packages
5.10.84-1 500
500 https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
$
So version 5.10.92-1~bpo10+1 should be available.

So, the upgrade was NOT available yesterday, but now it is.

I can only guess that amprolla was delayed but has now caught up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
