It's a security patch:

# apt-cache policy linux-image-5.10.0-19-amd64
linux-image-5.10.0-19-amd64:
Installed: 5.10.149-1
Candidate: 5.10.149-2

Preparing to unpack .../6-linux-image-amd64_5.10.149-2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking linux-image-amd64 (5.10.149-2) over (5.10.149-1) ...

Reboot when convenient is my suggestion.

high grade for such a design :-)
