Once we move the packaging to 6.18.y and upload to unstable, we need
to wait it migrates to testing. Once this is done the trixie-backports
will be based on the 6.18.y series.

*But* once 6.19.y is uploaded to unstable and then moves to testing
the next trixie-backports will move to be based on it.

In short: there won't be separte longterm packaged 6.18.y versions in
Debian. Noting that explicitly as I'm not sure if the question refers
to have 6.18.y wich is upstream a LTS kernel for longer term in Debian
itself.

Or did you just mean the availablity of a newer version as right now
in trixie-backports?

Salvatore
