Is it really normal to update the kernel meta-package before the signed kernel package the new version depends on is available ?I was I think bit prematurely to close the issue, because I think we should explain from where the change come (and if we actually want to cause this situation). If I'm correct, with the change af3f11740ed9 ("Introduce a base package for version sync") we now generate again the linux-image-* packages from src:linux.

Thank you for the explanation. I understand the goal (keep installed linux-image and linux-headers versions in sync)) and subscribe to it, but do linux-image-{amd64,arm64} meta-packages have to be built from src:linux instead of src:linux-signed-{amd64,arm64} for this ?
("It makes things simpler and sid should stand this kind of transient situation" is an acceptable answer)
