I think removing "newly unused" packages is an ugly hack. Deciding which packages are excessive or unneeded should not depend on how some packages were removed previously. If the reason for this automatic remove thing is to get rid of excessive kernels, a specific tool for that could be used. I have written such a tool. It is called linux-purge (https://launchpad.net/linux-purge)
