In my universe that doesn't work, YMMV.

The source for 6.1.27-1 isn't of any value to me.

This is why I was specifying a version as  stated before.

$apt-get source linux-image-unsigned-$(uname -r)

E: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-unsigned-5.10.0-23-amd64

$apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

E: Can not find version '5.10.179+3' of package
'linux-image-5.10.0-23-amd64'
E: Unable to find a source package for linux-signed-amd64

None of the following work either

 apt-get source linux-image-5.10.0-23

Picking 'linux-signed-amd64' as source package instead of
'linux-image-5.10.0-23-amd64'

I am not trying to be difficult, I was just  making the point that for
all of the

good intentions, things don't work the way people sometimes expect.

I was able to get the changelog for 5.10.0-24.

There are a bunch of usb changes that don't mean anything to me.

In conclusion all I know is that it is nowhere easy to get the source
for a specific kernel

as one thinks and 5.10.0.24 broke all of my usb disk stuff, with the
added bonus of

random beeps on attempted access of usb disk drives prior to hanging the
system.
