Great, thanks for the news.

I'm hoping Debian will do a full rebuild to compile everything with
reptoline, as this seems a lot better to me than just mitigating
when a specific problem is found.


Mitigation 2
    * Kernel compiled with retpoline option:  YES
    * Kernel compiled with a retpoline-aware compiler:  YES  (kernel
reports full retpoline compilation)

..which linux-image .deb package, and which kernel version is that?
(As in: uname -rv &&dpkg -l |grep image |grep `uname -r`)


I am not sure I understand your question, but the latest
linux-image-${ARCH} should pull the most recent Linux kernel. Those
are already patched, both in jessie and in ascii.


That is true for ASCII but for Jessie amd64 only meltdown is patched. When you install the back-port kernel on Jessie amd64 you get fully patched, you can check this with the spectre-meltdown-checker. For Jessie i386 stock kernel nothing is patched. Install the backports kernel on Jessie i386 and spectre 1&2 are patched but 3 is not patched.
