[Touch-packages] [Bug 1863165] Re: autoremove-kernels doesn't purge kernels
I'd consider having remnants of old package versions (and lots of them)
to be a bug, but it's your distribution, so having this dismissed is an
answer to this problem nonetheless. Thanks!

This is not a support forum. Purging automatically is not recommended.
Purge interactively a few times a year.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1863165] Re: autoremove-kernels doesn't purge kernels
So, how can I convince APT to _automatically_ remove all kernel
leftovers? I could of course run a cron job with the workaround, but
maybe this can be done The Right Way? :)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1863165] Re: autoremove-kernels doesn't purge kernels
This is not what the purge flag does. Starting in 20.04, you can use apt
purge ~c aka apt purge ?configuration-files to purge packages left in
configuration files.
The latter also works in 19.10. both also work with aptitude purge in
older releases.
