Comment 4 for bug 1686138

Dustin,

Thank you for working on this! Some comments on your changes though:

1) Users will never see the deprecation message. And do we not want to make the change more gradually to protect against your concern that apt autoremove has edge case failures? And don't we want users to switch to running "apt autoremove" directly, so that we can drop the purge-old-kernels command entirely? In this case, shouldn't we be telling them about the wrapping?

2) Is apt the right package for the bugs? I think it's linux that provides the autoremove configuration for apt? I'd have to defer to the kernel team or look at the source to determine this for certain.

3) Are you running sudo twice there, since users will already be running it through sudo as instructed (and required) previously?
