Oh, now I remember why I added "xargs apt-mark showauto" in the pipe in
the first script attached to comment #22: if you manually add some newer
kernels for e.g. testing something, you may not want system to
automatically remove the latest kernels available from the usual Ubuntu
repository, and consequently loose a meta package such as linux-image-
generic that enables kernel updates. In case user has installed an LTS
Enablement Stack, automatic removal should keep the meta kernel package
for that.

Bug description:
  After installing a 3rd kernel currently 3.19.0-12-generic, the
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels file looks normal listing the
  3.19.0-11-generic and 3.19.0-12-generic with 3.19.0-10-generic listed
  to be autoremoved. But once autoremove is completed the machine
  requests to be rebooted and at that time the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
  /01autoremove-kernels file lists the 3.19.0-12-generic and
  3.19.0-10-generic kernels. So upon rebooting the 3.19.0-11-generic is
  requested to be autoremoved leaving only one kernel the latest one
  3.19.0-12-generic.
