Public bug reported:

Hi,

The postrm maintainer script in the binary packages linux-image-
extra-*-generic runs the scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d instead of
those in /etc/kernel/postrm.d.

This can have all sorts of undesirable consequences depending on what
other packages add to those directories, but I noticed it because it
caused /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal to make the wrong
decisions leaving my servers with only one installed kernel left.

Cheers,
Seb
