Hey all,
Does anyone know what the deal is with the recently-released
linux-image-4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64-unsigned package? It installs without
complaint, so aptitude doesn't mind its unsigned-ness - does the
'unsigned' refer to something else?

Richard,
in this context, "signed" means signed for use with UEFI Secure Boot.
Some recent kernels with no mention of signedness in their package name
contain text like this:
"The kernel image and modules are signed for use with Secure Boot."
