I wouldn't know about your graphics card not being done with previous
commands (maybe a driver update?), but isn't linux-image-amd64 a
meta-package? It doesn't contain anything but requires the most recent
version of the kernel package (in your case
linux-image-5.15.0-0.bpo.3-amd64), and when the kernel version is upgraded,
the package itself doesn't change versions but the requirement does change.
