My expectation when using backports is usually that I can pick
individual backports to install, and I'll only have to upgrade related
packages to the backported version if it's the only way to satisfy
apt/dpkg-level dependencies. AIUI that's how backports are "normally"
meant to work.
If particular packages do need a newer kernel, breaking that
expectation, it seems as though it might be worth mentioning it in the
backport's Description or something?

Yes, that makes sense: it could refuse to start containers by default
if they were going to be insecure?
