No, we will not automatically remove kernel images.

You will have to use Script to achieve that. I dont think there is a single Linux command which will auto delete based on criteria. Below is a sample code that you can start with. Test it before you put it in action:

if [[ $(ls /boot/vmlinuz*.* | wc -l) > 10 ]]then
find /boot/vmlinuz*.* ! -newer $(ls -t | sed '11!d') -exec rm {} \; fi

This example keeps 10 files then deletes older files. You can just switch 10 to 3. But... DO EXPERIMENT FIRST ON TEST FOLDER!!

Please use 'dpkg' to remove packages (instead of 'rm')
