Bug#717615: 01autoremove-kernels is created too late

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.9.9.2
Severity: serious

The configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels is
only created when a kernel package is installed.  It must be created
on upgrade of apt, otherwise all kernel packages are immediately
auto-removable.

(But thanks for adding this, I've been wanting it for years!)

Ben.
