So, how can I convince APT to _automatically_ remove all kernel leftovers? I could of course run a cron job with the workaround, but maybe this can be done The Right Way? :)

For some reason /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels (triggered by unattended- upgrades.service) doesn't seem to remove the kernel's configuration files. The kernel images and modules are removed, only the package list (and maybe /usr/share/doc/linux*) is cluttered with the remnants of old kernels.
