if:

apt-mark showmanual|grep linux

does not list your kernel packages, then this is a bug, please file it
...
you can unset the "manual" flag to "auto" again with:

apt-mark auto $packagename

...in case it listed your kernel packages

(i bet your kernel is set to manual simply because it isnt the default
kernel, so you most likely manually apt-get installed it after the OS
was installed, which would have marked it as manual)
