Apreche: you say it's a serious issue, and I agree with you.  Allegedly,
if I look at the stats at the top of the page, this affects me and 34
other users.  Though I'm betting that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Informal discussions reveal that bugs need to have thousands indicating
it affects them before they're likely to get attention.  So either don't
hold your breath or find a way to get more visibility. :(

Or find a developer you can get interested?

Title:
  "Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies" does not work

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have a system that runs unattended-upgrades just fine. Now i want to
  automate removal of old kernels and kernel header packages that are
  accumulating otherwise. So i set 'Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-
  Dependencies "true";'. But it doesn't work.

  Note that the majority of these packages have been installed by
  unattended-upgrades from precise-security.

  According to the comments within/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-
  upgrades, this should automate autoremoval:

    // Do automatic removal of new unused dependencies after the upgrade
    // (equivalent to apt-get autoremove)
    Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "true";

  but nothing happens (note the line "Packages that are auto removed: ''
  ":

  $ unattended-upgrades --debug --dry-run
