Update: I just downloaded the source code for this kernel through apt-get source linux and got this:
root@devuan:/usr/local/src# ll total 92204 drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4096 dic 16 13:39 linux-4.7.8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2666180 oct 19 22:02 linux_4.7.8-1~bpo8+1.debian.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 88389 oct 19 22:02 linux_4.7.8-1~bpo8+1.dsc -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 91653948 oct 19 15:29 linux_4.7.8.orig.tar.xz So I think this is the same bug Daniel share: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=841883 Sorry for the inconvenience, it seems this kernel is still present in Jessie backports. Cheers, Emiliano.
