@Andy, #10
I had a very similar problem, and your solution worked for me. I do autoremove 
& autoclean somewhat frequently, and yet when I tried apt-get remove 
linux-<TAB>, I found the following on my system:

linux-firmware                      linux-image-3.5.0-23-generic
linux-generic                       linux-image-3.5.0-24-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-23              linux-image-3.5.0-25-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-23-generic      linux-image-3.5.0-26-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-24              linux-image-extra-3.5.0-21-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-24-generic      linux-image-extra-3.5.0-22-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-25              linux-image-extra-3.5.0-23-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-25-generic      linux-image-extra-3.5.0-24-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-26              linux-image-extra-3.5.0-25-generic
linux-headers-3.5.0-26-generic      linux-image-extra-3.5.0-26-generic
linux-headers-generic               linux-image-generic
linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic        linux-libc-dev
linux-image-3.5.0-22-generic        linux-sound-base
 
as well as 3.5.0-17 (but nothing in between that and -23), which I removed to 
make space.
