Hello team,

I can't find any technical documentation about how Debian decides to keep two 
kernels, and which ones. I am particularly interested in understanding how the 
"manual" or "automatic" package installation flag may, or may not, influence 
the policy? 

Long story: something happened on my Trixie 13.4 which resulted in both current 
and previous kernels to become unusable. I asked apt to install the N-2 kernel 
and it worked, I can boot on it. Now I have:

* Kernel N (last) - automatic - broken 
* Kernel N-1 (before last) - automatic - broken
* Kernel N-2 - manual - working 

I wonder what will happen when a new kernel becomes available, and how I can 
have some influence on the automatic selection. 

Please could you point me to some documentation explaining the details? 

Thanks in advance, and a lot of kudos for your dedicated work! 

Best, 

Thibi

Thierry Bissler
