Public bug reported:
[Impact]
APT currently keeps 3 kernels or even 4 in some releases. Our boot partition is
sized for a steady state of 2 kernels + 1 new one being unpacked, hence users
run out of space and new kernels fail to install, upgrade runs might abort in
the middle. It's not nice.
[Test plan]
1. Have two kernels installed (let's call them version 3, 2)
2. Check that both kernels are not autoremovable
3. Install an old kernel (let's call it 1), and mark it automatic
4. Check that 1 will be autoremovable (apt autoremove -s)
5. Reboot into 1, check that 2 is autoremovable (apt autoremove -s)
6. Actually remove 2
7. Reboot into 3 and check that both 1 and 3 are now not autoremovable
unattended-upgrades needs changes to its test suite to accommodate this.
[Where problems could occur]
We could keep the wrong kernels installed that the user did not expect.
