This is just the way Debian names its kernel packages.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And so on. It just happens that this kernel is based on v6.0.10.

$ uname -r
6.0.0-5-powerpc64le

So they are the correct config files.

Also, the mail I replied to talked about checking /sys/kernel/bpf/ (not
btf) :-(

still on my build machine (of course):

$ ls -l /sys/kernel/btf/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/btf/': No such file or directory

So it seems that Debian do not build their powerpcle kernels with
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF. I don't know why not since all the dependencies
seem to be OK.

[On my arm64 machine:

$ ls -l /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 5209570 Mar 29 09:52 /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux

and on my amd64 machine:

$ ls -l /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 8536946 Mar 29 10:04 /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
