RM1 but no > mention of linux-image. Nothing depends on linux-image-amd64, so presumably you installed it yourself. In which case, as man apt says: "Packages which you have installed explicitly via install are also never proposed for automatic removal." People install linux-image-amd64 because it depends on the latest version of the appropriate image, so causing the latter to want to be installed as an upgrade. Cheers, David.
