Bug description:
[Impact]
If a user accidentally removed linux-generic, unattended-upgrades will also
autoremove linux-image-generic, leaving them without kernel upgrades.
[Test Case]
1. Remove all reverse dependencies of linux-image-generic
2. Mark linux-image-generic as automatically installed
3. Run unattended-upgrades -v --dry-run --debug to ensure that
linux-image-generic is not removed (after verifying that it is, with old apt)
[Regression potential]
This adds two regular expressions to the list of packages that must not be
automatically removed. As such, the only possible regression is that some
packages starting with linux-image, not containing any dots, are not removed
[Original bug report]
On a fairly fresh install of 18.04 with no modifications whatsoever to the
unattended-upgrades configuration, it decided to remove linux-image-generic
which also removed linux-modules-extra which caused sound drivers to disappear,
etc.
The relative snippet from /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-
upgrades.log is:
