Package: raspi-firmware Version: 1.20201022-2 Severity: wishlist Kernel 5.10 has entered unstable and that caused f.e. bug #978025, which didn't happen with 5.9. Apparently there are more problems with it as https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/ has changed the default branch back from 5.10.x to 5.4.x. Apart from that, Debian allows you to install multiple kernel versions and on most (x86) systems you have GRUB which allows you to boot into an alternative kernel version and/or change the default kernel version.
I've now manually changed /boot/firmware/config.txt to boot the 5.9 kernel (as this RPi runs mpd), but that will be overwritten with every invocation of z50-raspi-firmware, which happens on a regular basis (at least on a testing/sid system). So it would be great if an option is added that will allow the user to pin to a specific kernel/initramfs version (if specified).
