I am very much talking about MX18 and I think if you want to have a 4.19 kernel that is automatically updated (with some delay possibly), then best* choice is installing linux-image-4.19-amd64
* or rather: only choice, because the other meta-packages are not maintained

Tony is asking you to install the 4.19 metapackages for kernel and kernel header because that will automatically update you to the latest 4.19 kernel version when you use
sudo apt full-upgrade
when there are updates.
I don't use aptitude at all.

Is this my question that has arisen to shake the towers and counsels of the Great?

Or maybe this newer one from a_freed_man? (A bit too new and not the same question, perhaps, but Greg Kroah-Hartman's recommendation to use "Supported kernel from your favorite Linux distribution" tugs at my heartstrings.

Perhaps I can park my kernel question until this is resolved. I do have a nice shiny new kernel for the moment.
