   I don't recall the update manager working on "time", but rather a count   
   of how many kernels to retain (e.g. "keep 2 old kernels").  That being   
   said, 'autoremove' should only be removing packages that were installed   
   as dependencies of something that has since been removed.  The kernel   
   images "shouldn't" fit this definition (although, maybe there's a   
   metapackage that's driving it).   
      
      
   Have you happened to jump kernel versions (e.g. default LTS to HWE, or   
   similar)?
