Ian Weisser, I think in 16.04, in contrary to what you claim, packages are not autoremoved before doing anything else. https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades tells:
"Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-New-Unused-Dependencies - boolean (default:True)

Remove any new unused dependencies after the upgrade finished."

Anyway, in my 16.04 system, where I have the setting enabled (as default) and unattended-upgrades enabled (via Software & Updates), I currently have 6 kernels installed, so I think it is not doing its job well.
