In contrary to what I told in #40, there is no fear that autoremove would remove the latest kernel that some meta package depends on. (Though the possibility is there, if there is no manually installed meta package that recursively depends on the kernel.) So "xargs apt-mark showauto" is not necessary for that, but you may want to keep it anyway, as it protects some older kernel from being autoremoved. That might be useful in case the installation of the latest kernel fails or booting the latest kernel fails (and there are manually installed newer kernels around). I am sorry about the confusion.
