Hi, I installed apt 1.2.28 from proposed on a xenial server with the linux- cloud-tools packages installed and it added linux-cloud-tools to the VersionedKernelPackages section of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove.
It did not add linux-cloud-tools lines to the 01autoremove-kernels file. This did not occur until I upgraded the kernel to 4.4.0-137. After doing this the 01autoremove-kernels contains: "^linux-cloud-tools-4\.4\.0-134-generic$"; "^linux-cloud-tools-4\.4\.0-137-generic$"; I confirmed that linux-cloud-tools package was also not auto removed. So the new version of apt fixes the problem.

The linux-cloud-tools package has the hyper-v integration services daemons in it, so it's deletion leaves some of the integration not working. Could /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels be updated so other hyper-v users aren't caught out by this? Thanks, Ian. [Test case] Make sure that linux-cloud-tools for protected kernels are listed in APT::NeverAutoRemove, for example, on cosmic: "^linux-cloud-tools-4\.17\.0-9-generic$"; "^linux-cloud-tools-4\.18\.0-7-generic$"; Those are in 01autoremove-kernels [Regression Potential] some linux-cloud-tools will linger around, so it takes more space.
