Hi Konstantin,
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I found some complementary information here : https://itsfoss.com/why-distros-use-old-kernel/
It seems that even if the kernel version is EOL it's not a matter while the distribution version (in our case Debian 10 (Buster) is still under support. Is my understanding correct ?
Yes, distributions may choose to maintain their own LTS versions. If you are basing your work on a distribution like Debian and aren't shipping your own kernel, then you should plan your work around the distribution's announced EOL dates.
