For what it's worth, it seems it might be HOW the script is being
called. Testing the apt-auto-removal script here (Kubuntu 15.04) with
kernels 3.19.0-29-generic,  3.19.0-30-generic, and 3.19.0-31-generic
installed and after a reboot to load -31:

1) Noticed the call to autoremove 3.19.0-30-generic.
2) Read /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremovekernels and saw -29 and -31 listed as "NeverAutoRemove"
3) Manually removed 3.19.0-29-generic.
4) Ran "sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal"
5) Re-read /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremovekernels and saw only  -31 listed as "NeverAutoRemove"
6) Ran "sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 3.19.0-31-generic"
7) Re-read /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremovekernels and saw -30 and -31 listed as "NeverAutoRemove"

So it worked when called properly in that case. I thought it possible
that part of the problem is it's being called with the wrong kernel
version.

I re-installed -25 and -21 along with -30 and -31. This resulted in -25 and -31 in the never remove list. 
But again: When apt-auto-removal is re-run with -31, the never remove list changes to -30 and -31.

Title:
  /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal wants to remove all kernels
  except the latest one

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
