I have this:

// DO NOT EDIT! File autogenerated by /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
APT::NeverAutoRemove
{
   "^linux-image-3\.14-1-amd64$";
   "^linux-image-3\.14-2-amd64$";
   "^linux-headers-3\.14-1-amd64$";

   "^linux-tools-3\.14-1-amd64$";
   "^linux-tools-3\.14-2-amd64$";
};

in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels and old kernels are
preserved after update and i need to manually removed it (them).

They stays (i am using aptitude) installed despite the auto flag.
