Would it mean that changes in Wireguard will require a new version of the kernel ?

EDIT: I mean, if I am on debian and I have kernel 5.6-build123, a patch to Wireguard would mean I will need to upgrade to 5.6-build124 ?

Debian will probably ship it as a module, like the other networking modules they ship, which means as long as they don't change ABI, after your `apt upgrade`, you can do the usual `rmmod wireguard && modprobe wireguard` to hot-load the new version at runtime without having to reboot.
