You'll find the needed information here:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Choosing_what_Koha_release_to_follow_-_a_version_number_or_a_codename

Personally I always deactivate the line in file 
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list" like this, adding character # at the 
beginning if the line:

#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/koha-keyring.gpg] 
http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 24.05 main

And I also put both packages "koha-common" and "koha-l10n" on hold as 
Linux user "root", using this command:

apt-mark hold koha-common koha-l10n

Because I definitely never ever want automatic Koha updates (which for 
example would overwrite manual configuration changes in the file system 
without warning).

Best wishes: Michael
