Title:
  Autoremoval not working reliable on precise

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in apt source package in Precise:
  New
Status in apt source package in Trusty:
  New
Status in apt source package in Utopic:
  New

Bug description:
  The APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections in precise is not working reliable.
  Apt is not always looking at the section of the version to be
  installed but instead may look at a random versions section.

  This breaks "apt-get autoremove" for no-longer-required kernels.
