Public bug reported:
Unattended-upgrades and Update Manager use the patterns from the
APT::VersionedKernelPackages list directly for finding kernel packages
to remove while APT uses patterns by attaching version and flavor to
them.
As a result in APT's script ".*-modules" becomes
"^.*-modules-4\.15\.0-45-generic$":
...
for package in $(apt-config dump --no-empty --format '%v%n'
'APT::VersionedKernelPackages'); do
for kernel in $kernels; do
echo " \"^${package}-${kernel}$\";"
done
...
In unattended-upgrades and update-manager ".*-modules" is used directly
for matching and may false identify autoremovable packages as kernel-
related ones and remove them (of just offer the removal in case of
update-manager):
