Title:
  apt autoremove not removing old kernels

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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 
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  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:

  # list of different kernel versions:
  4.15.0-24.26~16.04.1
  4.15.0-23.25~16.04.1
  4.15.0-22.24~16.04.1
  4.15.0-15.16~16.04.1
  4.13.0-45.50~16.04.1
  4.13.0-43.48~16.04.1
  # Installing kernel: 4.13.0-45.50~16.04.1 (4.13.0-45-generic)
  # Running kernel: 4.15.0-23.25~16.04.1 (4.15.0-23-generic)
  # Last kernel: 4.15.0-24.26~16.04.1
  # Previous kernel: 4.15.0-23.25~16.04.1
  # Kernel versions list to keep:

  4.15.0-23.25~16.04.1
  4.15.0-24.26~16.04.1
  # Kernel packages (version part) to protect:
  4\.13\.0-45-generic
  4\.15\.0-23-generic
  4\.15\.0-24-generic

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