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.
