I don't think it does.  iirc that only works on dependencies of
packages that are nolonger required.  The kernel is a new install along
side the existing so you can flip back if there are issues.

I think you have to do sudo apt-get purge <kernel name>  and then
autoremove should get rid of any remaining elements aiui.
