I think the problem here is a misunderstanding of how backports work: they're not "the latest kernel", they're "the latest kernel from debian testing". You're not going to see a kernel in backports that's not going to be in trixie until after the trixie release. (And even then it would be going into trixie-backports, not bookworm-backports.) Simply install linux-image-amd64 from bookworm-backports and you'll be fine.
You mean, linux-image-amd64 in bookworm-backports, which currently draws in linux-image-6.12.9+bpo-amd64 (= 6.12.9-1~bpo12+1), can be expected to NOT draw in some 6.13 like 6.13~rc7+1~exp1 currently already having appeared in the experimental repository, because that 6.13 is not expected to make it into current testing (Trixie) no more? Then this linux-image-amd64 from backports would indeed be perfectly fine to install to my Bookworm! Problem solved!
Correct?
