Oh, I was expecting it to be a real pkg and figured it must be the
root cause of things falling over (this caused me to disregard the
other errors a red herring). This fooled some collaborators as
well. So indeed I need to give more info.

===8<----------------------------------------
Apparently the Thinkpad battery modules break in the latest backports
kernel. You might recall from this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1071381
that the Thinkpad modules are suspect of causing freezes in kernel
versions 6.1.x. I am currently running one of those versions with the
two modules removed, as an experiment per your suggestion (so far, no
freezing with the modules removed but it’s a bit early to conclude
anything from that). The above attempt to install the latest backports
kernel (performed last week) was another effort to diagnose the same
problem.. to test whether the newest kernel also freezes.
Regarding the permission error, that came from another command and I
inadvertently pasted the output without the command:
===8<----------------------------------------
$ apt -t bookworm-backports download linux-image-amd64 -d
Get:1 tor://artfiles.org/debian bookworm-backports/main amd64
linux-image-amd64 amd64 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 [1,480 B]
Fetched 1,480 B in 5s (288 B/s)
W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/root/linux-image-amd64_6.6.13-1~bpo12+1_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by
user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
===8<----------------------------------------
Using both apt’s “download” subcommand and the “-d” option is
rudundant and an error on my part. But actually, this seems like an
apt bug. I don’t expect a download operation as root to lead to a
permission problem in a directory where root has write access. So I
thought: apt must be trying to open the deb file to check the metadata
or check the integrity or something. This led me to look closer at the
file, at which point the small size seemed suspicious for a kernel
image.
