You talk of Synaptic trying to uninstall multiple kernels, so multiple kernels
must be there in the first place, so you must have managed to install them.
As you see, I have both 3.2, and 3.16 from backports. Here is my list again
on this box:
lisi@Tux-II:~$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64 3.16.3-2~bpo70+1
amd64 Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.3-amd64 3.16.5-1~bpo70+1
amd64 Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1~bpo70+1
amd64 Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 3.2.68-1+deb7u1
amd64 Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-amd64 3.16+63~bpo70+1
amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)

I have several installed at the same time (both
Wheezy and Jessie and
everything I have used before) and can choose in GRUB. (I only don't
have more because I don't want more than four or five.) I can certainly
choose an older version at boot time.
Strange... Whenever I've tried to install any other version, it wants to
uninstall everything else. I just tried to install the 3.16 amd64 from
backports, and Synaptic wants to uninstall everything 3.2.0 -- 486, amd64,
metapackage, everything. One more thing to figure out when I get home, I
suppose.
