@vorlon: OK, being commented out (and not set elsewhere) makes it default to
True.
The misleading comment is fixed in later releases.

Title:
Update-manager does not remove autoremovable kernel packages
_before_installing new (kernel) packages
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I happened to run apt manually on my system this morning to remove a
package, and I was informed:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
linux-image-4.15.0-36-generic linux-modules-4.15.0-36-generic
linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-36-generic
This was surprising, since I have run update-manager yesterday (with
no intervening reboot), and unattended-upgrades is enabled, and both
of those packages should have already removed this stale kernel before
now.
After apt autoremove, my current installed packages are:
$ dpkg -l linux-image'*' | grep ^ii
ii linux-image-4.18.0-10-generic 4.18.0-10.11 amd64 Signed
kernel image generic
ii linux-image-4.18.0-11-generic 4.18.0-11.12 amd64 Signed
kernel image generic
ii linux-image-generic 4.18.0.11.12 amd64 Generic
Linux kernel image
