Kernel 6.19 is EOL (last release 6.19.14, 2026-04-22) so recent CVE fixes no longer land in that series. Move to 7.1, the current upstream stable series, at point release 7.1.5.

trixie-backports only carries 7.1.3-1~bpo13+1, so the linux-source package is fetched from sid instead, where 7.1.5-1 is available:

  • add sid (binary packages only) to the mkosi apt sources, pinned to priority 100 via shared/mkosi.pref so no package ever resolves from it unless explicitly requested
  • make the suite linux-source is installed from configurable via KERNEL_APT_SUITE (default: -backports), set to sid, and include it in the kernel cache key
  • add shared/mkosi.apt.conf: skip translation indices and retry transient download failures

Snapshot bumped 20260430T025253Z -> 20260728T082537Z across all images, which also picks up ~3 months of trixie userspace updates. Once a >=7.1.5 backport lands in trixie-backports, KERNEL_APT_SUITE can be dropped again.

Here is a screenshot from a dev-image running locally in qemu:
