Public bug reported:

apt-get autoremove regenerates the initrd after removing each kernel.
Since you generally call this command only when your boot volume is full
of old kernels, it seems sub-optimal to regenerate the initrd eight
times when removing eight kernels.  Could something be done with
triggers to do a single regeneration of the initrd at the end?

This is in 14.04
