Oh, now I remember why I added "xargs apt-mark showauto" in the pipe in the first script attached to comment #22: if you manually add some newer kernels for e.g. testing something, you may not want system to automatically remove the latest kernels available from the usual Ubuntu repository, and consequently loose a meta package such as linux-image- generic that enables kernel updates. In case user has installed an LTS Enablement Stack, automatic removal should keep the meta kernel package for that.

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.
