You've slightly lost me - when is a new kernel a new kernel and when is it an 
update?  I have:

Linux 3.16-0.bpo.3-amd64
and
Linux 3.16-0.bpo.4-amd64

I would have said that the second was an update of the first, and not a new 
kernel, but I am open to correction.

I had others but I have purged them.

I have other kernels, but only those two 3.16-0.bpo.x
