This bug was fixed in the package packagekit - 1.2.5-1ubuntu1
---------------
packagekit (1.2.5-1ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=low
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- debian/control: Added recommends for packagekit-installer
* 1.2.5 fixes manually installed kernel updates (LP: #1914278)
packagekit (1.2.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream version: 1.2.5
Notable changes:
- aptcc: Do not mark all updates as manually installed
- aptcc: Apply auto/manual state from previously resolved pkgids
when needed
- aptcc: Attempt to fix broken packages again when system
repair is requested
- aptcc: Correctly list all the available package versions
- aptcc: Display an excerpt of dpkg's log on error instead of not
failing at all
- aptcc: Emit only the first, likely highest-quality error when dpkg fails
- aptcc: Make package downgrades work again
- aptcc: Return local file listings in the same format as installed ones
- Add flags to D-Bus offline invoking methods
- Properly handle allow-reinstall flag for installations
- Provide better error message if trying to install an installed package
- Wait until online to activate systemd service
* policy: Allow any inactive user to refresh the package cache
as well (Closes: #965030)
* Update symbols file
* Mark d/rules as not requiring root
* Bump dh compat level to 13
* Drop some no longer needed breaks constraints
* policy: Allow any user to trigger offline updates
by default (Closes: #1003141)
* Remove 2 obsolete maintscript entries in 1 files (thanks, Janitor!)
* Set upstream metadata fields: Bug-Database, Contact (thanks, Janitor!)

Bug description:
With the machines I help administer, we have been finding situations
where the /boot directory is filling-up beyond 3 kernels on LUKS
encrypted systems. apt autoremove is not removing old kernels as
expected.
This may also be an issue with unattended-upgrades since I found the
following line commented-out by default:
// Remove unused automatically installed kernel-related packages
// (kernel images, kernel headers and kernel version locked tools).
// Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Kernel-Packages "true";
We have had a system with as many as 15 kernel packages installed as a
result of this not working as expected.
The majority of these machines are using Discover to do their package
upgrading, which uses PackageKit as its backend.
