This continues on even in Linux Mint as well as Ubuntu.
I don't think /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal should be triggered when you delete a kernel no matter if it's the17th,  3rd, or 2nd to last kernel.
It is triggered when you just manually delete kernels:
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.19.0-20 linux-headers-3.19.0-20-generic linux-image-3.19.0-20-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-20-generic

Or when you do sudo apt-get autoremove.

It should not be triggered except after a new kernel installation and
that is all.

I still have to manually edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels
after autoremoving the 3rd kernel back or I will be left with one
kernel.

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.
