There's also the issue of what config options the kernel is built with.
I'm sure there's been at least one time in the past where for a new
Debian release they've had to enable a kernel feature that the new
systemd (or udev?) wanted. But again, a case like that would stop a new
Debian working on and old kernel, not the other way around as the OP is
intending. I don't expect the Debian kernel maintainers would _remove_
kernel config options needed in a prior release.
