Two latest installed kernels are expected to be 'actual active' ones, not 'obsolete' like 'synaptic' shows. Or that setting should be set by the user depending on his wish.
This often happen with the devlopment ubuntu release, where there is not several kernels yet (genuine, proposed, security)

So voting to get 2 latest kernels not removed when 'autoremove' is ran.

Title:
  autoremove kernel management leaves one single kernel

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a kernel upgrade, autoremove removes kernel -2
  This is normal.
  BUT :
  If, a new update/full-upgrade is entered, apt suggests an autoremove for kernel -1
  If one performs the autoremove, it leaves the system with a single kernel :

  :~$ dpkg -l | grep -Ei "linux-headers|linux-image"

  By the way, autoremove also leaves a bunch of rc files that need to be wiped with : 
  dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

  Having a single kernel is highly uneasy !
