Autoremoval not working reliably

Bug description:
[ SRU Justification ]
The APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections in precise is not working reliable. Apt is
not always looking at the section of the version to be installed but instead
may look at a random versions section.
This breaks "apt-get autoremove" for no-longer-required kernels.
[ Test Case ]
See comment #2
[ Regression Potential ]
Slim to none, assuming the test case passes well. We can't really make this
more broken than it is, except by suddenly marking ALL things manual (or all
things auto), which the testcase would show.
