The problem is twofold.

1) Users not paying attention to apt-get saying:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
...
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

like in the thread linked above.

2) Systems where linux-
image-<version>-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency} don't get suggested
for autoremoval after upgrade to newer versions of
linux-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency}/linux-
image-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency}. Mostly because some dkms-
based kernel-modules are installed like NVIDIA/AMD propietary video
drivers or VirtualBox. dkms recommends virtual package linux-image
provided by each and every linux-
image-<version>-{generic,server,goldfish,lowlatency}. That prevents
their autoremoval as long as dkms is installed and apt is configured not
to autoremove recommended packages
(Apt::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant).
