Can you mention a bit more about the APT::LastInstalledKernel logic usage removal in this SRU? What was it used before? Since right now this SRU seems to be dropping its use + only keeping track of 2 kernels, can you help me understand the implications of that (as I didn't know about this logic before)?

Our boot partition is sized for a steady state of 2 kernels + 1 new one being unpacked, hence users run out of space and new kernels fail to install, upgrade runs might abort in the middle. It's not nice. [Test plan] 1. Have two kernels installed (let's call them version 3, 2) 2. Check that both kernels are not autoremovable 3. Install an old kernel (let's call it 1), and mark it automatic 4. Check that 1 will be autoremovable (apt autoremove -s) 5. Reboot into 1, check that 2 is autoremovable (apt autoremove -s) 6. Actually remove 2 7. Reboot into 3 and check that both 1 and 3 are now not autoremovable unattended-upgrades may need changes to its test suite to accommodate this. [Where problems could occur] We could keep the wrong kernels installed that the user did not expect.
