I was just thinking if it would be better to switch from linux-

But maybe the difference isn't immense so I probably shouldn't change
the running system :-)

The bpo.1 is likely to disappear from backports very soon and not
receive any security support as of the point bpo.2 was uploaded (the
Kernel Team can't support more than one version in backports).

Thanks for the explanation!
So why didn't they "just" update the version that won't receive any
updates?


Best regards
