Bug description:
When using default settings for unattended-upgrade i.e.
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies "false";
# default "false"
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies "true";
# default "true"
in configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades,
unattended-upgrade is unable to remove packages that become unused in
conjunction with updating by other software such as update-manager or apt
full-upgrade. This is because unattended-upgrade compares the list of unneeded
packages before and after it upgrades packages to detect which packages are new
unused ones.
Consequently, if user installs new kernels using e.g. update-manager,
the excessive kernels will not be removed by unattended-upgrade, and
eventually (small) /boot will become full.
Expected behavior: handle removing of unused packages differently at
least until other package management software installed by default can
handle removing of new unused packages.
