This is incorrect. I'm not even sure how you came up with this idea.
If you have linux-image-amd64 version 6.1.66-1, it depends on
linux-image-6.1.0-15-amd64 and NOT on linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64.
In this situation, nothing depends on linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 so
you may remove it without worry. It's no different from removing any
other old kernel images. So long as they're not the current one, they
can be removed freely.
