Cavsfan, the comment was copied from the original script; it may not be
accurate with this one. I think the normal case after installing a
kernel with this script is three kernels in the never-auto-remove list.
There may probably be four kernels installed then (before autoremoving).
If that is too much, running the script without command line arguments
as a startup script as root helps (combined with regular autoremoving).
That also prevents the running kernel from being autoremoved, in case
you boot a kernel that is not protected by the never-auto-remove list.
The script may keep even more kernels from getting autoremoved, if there
are ones that are marked as manually installed, but you can control that
by using apt-mark.

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.
