Looks legit.

Some of these may come from the Debian defaults. But do they hurt,
especially the “m” ones?

Yes, please. Send an eMail to submit@bugs.debian.org with the first
lines “Source: linux”, “Version: 3.16.7-ckt2-1”, and an empty line.

No, the initrd. (Or nothing, since you don’t need it when you have
a static /dev which also still works.) I still believe it to have
benefit, but when I proposed this for Debian it got shot down. So,
this is part of those distro defaults. (I’d still suggest it for
monolithic initrd-less kernels.)
