Excepted that unattended-upgrades is changeing this behaviour right
now because some users got their /boot filled with many differents kernel images
over the time.

*) "apt-get autoremove" should always be safe;
   one can use apt-mark manual to pin pakcages

*) "apt-get remove $(deborphan)" is more dangerous; and should be done manually;
and then one can also build fake empty packages with equivs to register some
-libs or -devel packages as needed by a local application.

Greets,
