Bug#1100955: initscripts: Wants to remove the running kernel

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Package: initscripts
Version: 3.14-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

~#apt-get update

The following packages have been kept back:
  initscripts
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

~#apt-get dist-upgrade

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  dracut-install libatopology2t64 linux-doc-6.1
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  alsa-utils initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-core kmod linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64 linux-image-6.12.12-amd64
  linux-image-6.12.17-amd64 linux-image-amd64
The following packages will be upgraded:
  initscripts
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 8 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

  No packages will be removed.

  The files to be removed are too many, for example "alsa-util" and
"linux-image-amd64"

(current kernel is 

Linux kassi 6.12.17-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.17-1
(2025-03-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux
)

  In the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove:

APT
{
  NeverAutoRemove
  {
        "^firmware-linux.*";
        "^linux-firmware$";
        "^linux-image-[a-z0-9]*$";
        "^linux-image-[a-z0-9]*-[a-z0-9]*$";
  };
[...]
