unattended-upgrades in jammy did not need a change, we'll see if SRUs
will need changes, hence keeping the task so we can add them later on
without having to reset to launchpad API shenanigans.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  APT currently keeps 3 kernels or even 4 in some releases. Our boot partition 
is sized for a steady state of 2 kernels + 1 new one being unpacked, hence 
users run out of space and new kernels fail to install, upgrade runs might 
abort in the middle. It's not nice.
  
  [Test plan]
  1. Have two kernels installed (let's call them version 3, 2)
  2. Check that both kernels are not autoremovable
  3. Install an old kernel (let's call it 1), and mark it automatic
  4. Check that 1 will be autoremovable (apt autoremove -s)
  5. Reboot into 1, check that 2 is autoremovable (apt autoremove -s)
  6. Actually remove 2
  7. Reboot into 3 and check that both 1 and 3 are now not autoremovable
  
- unattended-upgrades needs changes to its test suite to accommodate this.
+ unattended-upgrades may need changes to its test suite to accommodate
+ this.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  We could keep the wrong kernels installed that the user did not expect.
