Seems this got fixed in Debian, and we have since sync'd:

systemtap (2.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't Suggest linux-* since that won't guarantee right version anyway
    (Closes: #724561, #735459).

Title:
  linux-image Suggests cripples old kernel cleanup

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in systemtap package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Old kernels are not being autoremoved in spite of being marked auto
  and not being in APT::NeverAutoRemove. Debugging with the
  pkgAutoRemove "true";  option of APT I can see lines like this:

  Following dep: systemtap:amd64 2.3-1ubuntu1 Suggests linux-image:amd64 , provided by linux-image-3.2.0-63-generic:amd64 3.2.0-63.95
  Marking: linux-image-3.2.0-63-generic:amd64 3.2.0-63.95, Curr=3.2.0-63.95, Inst=3.2.0-63.95

  I can confirm that removing (or marking as auto) systemtap fix the
  issue.

  root # apt-mark auto systemtap
  systemtap set to automatically installed.
  root # apt-get autoremove
