I'm screwed.
To be fair, autoremove can improve safety: when it removes old kernel
versions
filling up your boot partition.
Yes. My comment was about dist-upgrade, not autoremove.
Point taken. I wouldn't run this one automatically. It can and
will remove packages from time to time, so you better know what
happened :-)

I run my update script like this:
sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
That way I always have the next older version waiting to be restored if
something "goes bump'. But I've not had to resort to that in quite a spell.
