How about
"Use 'apt-get autoremove' as superuser to remove them."?

Or maybe it would be enough that the error message printed by `apt-get autoremove` when ran as regular user could be more user friendly. Currently it is:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
