Package: linux-image-6.10.3-powerpc64
Version: 6.10.3-1

This kernel uses a different page size (4K) than the ones before (64K).
Still it just installs when upgrading via apt, rather than the new 64K
kernel package.

I think, users should have gotten the 64K page size kernel on upgrade.
Changing the page size is a quite disruptive change:

I installed Debian on a ppc64 machine less than a year ago. Back then,
for btrfs, apparently the default was to use a sector size that matches
the system page size. And btrfs can only handle sector sizes of 4K and
the system page size. So for anyone with a btrfs root filesystem, the
system won't boot with the new kernel.
