Title:
  apt-get sugests to remove needed packages on --autoremove

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 LTS
  apt version 1.0.1ubuntu2.1

  After last update to 3.13.0-29-generic kernel I've tried to run 'apt-
  get autoremove' and it suggested to remove the following packages:
  linux-headers-generic and linux-image-generic

  In Unity if these are removed the new kernel versions were never
  offered anymore on the subsequent system updates until these files
  were re-installed back.  I'm new to Xubuntu but considering its
  relashionship with Ubuntu I would expect the same to happen here
  (correct me if I'm wrong, please).  Hence I'm submitting this bug
  report.

  I think the packages are not supposed to be suggested for removal when
  executing 'apt-get autoremove'.
