Public bug reported:
I noticed that apt autoremove stopped removing old kernels recently.
Currently I have 6 installed and apt autoremove does not try to remove
old ones:
$ sudo apt autoremove --purge

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
In /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels it is said to only keep last
three versions:

# Kernel packages (version part) to protect:

4\.15\.0-23-generic

It was working fine previously and I didn't change anything that could
break this functionality.
