What does this mean? The kernel in stretch-backports didn't change since
Sat, 30 Mar 2019 and i'm still able to build an initvm with 'elbe 4'
without any patches:

--8<--
manut at slartibartfast  ~  elbe initvm attach
Attaching to initvm console.
Connected to domain initvm
Escape character is ^]

Debian GNU/Linux 9 elbe-daemon ttyS0

elbe-daemon login: root

Linux elbe-daemon 4.19.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2~bpo9+1 (2019-03-27) x86_64
root at elbe-daemon:~# dpkg -l linux-image-amd64 | grep ^ii
ii  linux-image-amd64 4.19+104~bpo9+1 amd64        Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
--8<--
