Robie, 'apt autoremove' does not work, if there are broken packages in the 
system. And that usually is the case, if kernel updates have made /boot full. 
Even 'apt(-get) -f install' cannot deal with the space problem, as it tries to 
install something that does not fit. There are related bugs in other packages 
such as Bug #1678187, that may block removing kernels. Thus user have to take 
steps like described here:
