Title:
  Autoremoval not working reliably

Status in apt source package in Precise:

Status in apt source package in Trusty:

Bug description:
  [ SRU Justification ]
  The APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections in precise is not working reliable. Apt is not always looking at the section of the version to be installed but instead may look at a random versions section.

  This breaks "apt-get autoremove" for no-longer-required kernels.

  [ Test Case ]
  See comment #2

  [ Regression Potential ]
  Slim to none, assuming the test case passes well.  We can't really make this more broken than it is, except by suddenly marking ALL things manual (or all things auto), which the testcase would show.
