Bug description:
  Despite efforts to fix the handling of kernel packages on upgrade,
  when I use update-manager to apply updates to my system, kernel
  packages are still not being marked as auto-installed.  Today I tried
  to run update-manager and was told that I had insufficient room on
  /boot.  Judicious use of 'apt-mark auto' resulted in the following
  changes being applied to my system:

  linux-tools-3.16.0-13 set to automatically installed.
  linux-tools-3.16.0-13-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-tools-3.16.0-14 set to automatically installed.
  linux-tools-3.16.0-14-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-tools-3.16.0-16 set to automatically installed.
  linux-tools-3.16.0-16-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-image-extra-3.16.0-13-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-image-extra-3.16.0-14-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-image-extra-3.16.0-16-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-image-3.16.0-13-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-image-3.16.0-14-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-image-3.16.0-16-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-headers-3.16.0-13-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-headers-3.16.0-13 set to automatically installed.
  linux-headers-3.16.0-14-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-headers-3.16.0-14 set to automatically installed.
  linux-headers-3.16.0-16-generic set to automatically installed.
  linux-headers-3.16.0-16 set to automatically installed.

  All of these packages should have been considered auto-installed
  without me having to take any action.

  After applying the above changes, 'apt-get autoremove --purge' removed
  the 3.16.0-13 kernel packages as expected.
