In buster-backports/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz, I see six packages
built against 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1, viz
Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64-dbg
Source: linux
Version: 5.10.19-1~bpo10+1
Installed-Size: 6961276

Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-cloud-amd64-dbg

Package: linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64-dbg

On https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/kernel/, I see
three matches for linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4…amd64, viz
linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-amd64-unsigned (5.10.19-1~bpo10+1)
linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-cloud-amd64-unsigned (5.10.19-1~bpo10+1)
linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64-unsigned (5.10.19-1~bpo10+1)
The other three are, of course, on the page
https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/debug/
If I search on https://packages.debian.org/index for
linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo. in buster-backports/any,
then I see the same six matches for
linux-image-5.10.0-0.bpo.4…amd64, where, as before,
"…" stands for cloud, rt, and nothing.
So I don't observe any discrepancy between the Packages file and
the packages.debian.org page or its search function.
But the OP is, perhaps, relying on the upgrade mechanism provided by
the linux-image-amd64 metapackage. However, that's supporting only
the signed versions, and buster-backports doesn't (yet) have any
5.10.19 signed versions:
$ xzgrep 'Source: linux-signed-amd64' /home/debian/buster/Packages-backports.xz | sort -u
Source: linux-signed-amd64 (5.10.13+1~bpo10+1)
Source: linux-signed-amd64 (5.9.15+1~bpo10+1)
$ ls -Glg /home/debian/buster/Packages-backports.xz
-rw-r----- 1 458020 Mar 17 15:01 /home/debian/buster/Packages-backports.xz
$
(I haven't delved into what the new versions support as I'm currently
on 4.19, but that might change soon as I have a newish HP laptop to
play with.)
Cheers,
David.
