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.
