Package : linux-latest-4.19
Version : 105+deb10u5~deb9u1

Linux 4.19 has been packaged for Debian 9 as linux-4.19. This
provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use
kernel packages from the "stretch-backports" suite.

However, "apt full-upgrade" will *not* automatically install the
updated kernel packages. You should explicitly install one of the
following metapackages first, as appropriate for your system:

linux-image-4.19-686
linux-image-4.19-686-pae
linux-image-4.19-amd64
linux-image-4.19-arm64
linux-image-4.19-armmp
linux-image-4.19-armmp-lpae
linux-image-4.19-cloud-amd64
linux-image-4.19-marvell
linux-image-4.19-rpi
linux-image-4.19-rt-686-pae
linux-image-4.19-rt-amd64
linux-image-4.19-rt-arm64
linux-image-4.19-rt-armmp

For example, if the command "uname -r" currently shows
"4.19.0-0.bpo.9-amd64", you should install linux-image-4.19-amd64.

There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 4.9, as that kernel
version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.
