Public bug reported: When running kernel version 4.4.0-78 (for example) and the unattended- upgrade packages installs a new kernel 4.4.0-79 (for example) the linux- cloud-tools-4.4.0-78 and linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-78-generic packages are removed by the Remove-Unused-Dependencies rule, because unlike "normal" kernel packages they are not excluded by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d /01autoremove-kernels.
The linux-cloud-tools package has the hyper-v integration services daemons in it, so it's deletion leaves some of the integration not working. Could /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels be updated so other hyper-v users aren't caught out by this? Thanks, Ian.
