You mean, linux-image-amd64 in bookworm-backports, which currently draws 
in  linux-image-6.12.9+bpo-amd64 (= 6.12.9-1~bpo12+1), can be expected 
to NOT draw in some 6.13 like 6.13~rc7+1~exp1 currently already having 
appeared in the experimental repository, because that 6.13 is not 
expected to make it into current testing (Trixie) no more?
Then this linux-image-amd64 from backports would indeed be perfectly 
fine to install to my Bookworm! Problem solved!
Correct?
