I don't remember having any Stretch installations with fewer than two
installed kernels. The currently booted one, originally installed 51
weeks ago, has 6 installed. I've yet to discover any doc suggesting
anything about any possibility of automatic removal of old kernels from
Debian Testing installations.
This is exactly what happens when the binary package version number does
not change. The 4.7.6 kernel came in packages with version number
4.7.0-1. So did the 4.7.8 one [1]. This means 4.7.8 simply overwrote 4.7.6.
This sort of thing has been happening on my Testing system for years.
The older ones I have are 4.6.0-1, 4.5.0-2 and 4.5.0-1.

The arrangement has been working for me for quite some time, but
it may have bit me in the behind this time around. Thank you for
the link. I should have been paying more attention.
