There is a bug in aptitude, so to speak, as it protects all linux
images, it literally protects like ~n^linux-image or something like
that by supplying its own root set function somewhere, when it should
just rely on APT's default root set function.
That said, that's a post-freeze topic I reckon.

Proof that this is wrong:
That feature wasn't present in apt 1.4.8 which was present when the
original bug was reported. Hence reverting your changes to this bug
report.
Feel free to report a separate bug report for compatibility with the
2.1.16 apt changes.
And wrt. to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/1772688:
Please note that apt-get hasn't changed either and behaves differently
that apt. And nobody stated that aptitude will follow apt and not
apt-get. (Nobody has stated the opposite either, though, but it's
obviously the default.)
Regards, Axel

Automatically remove unused kernels on apt {dist,full}-upgrade. To revert
to previous behavior, set APT::Get::AutomaticRemove::Kernels to false or
pass --no-auto-remove to the command. apt-get remains unchanged.
