Public bug reported:

I just did a set of package updates in focal that ended up with shim
shim-signed mokutil being autoremoved.

I rebooted without noticing, and had to manually recover the system
thereafter. :(

Julian says there was a period of time where these were marked auto. I
suppose that I installed during this window, and now some dependency
change meant that as far as apt was concerned they weren't required any
more.

Can we please consider never proposing these packages for autoremoval?
apt has NeverAutoRemove for this which could be used, or some other
appropriate method.
