In fact, no, it doesn't. Canon: Using an unforgivable curse on a human 
being (including AK) (only?) means spending the rest of your life in 
Azkaban. Nowhere in the books is death sentence invoked as a matter of 
course. In fact, it is a special situation the one that deserves it: a 
very dangerous fugitive (Sirius) is on the run and attacking inocent 
beds and pictures, and Fudge gives permission to the dementors to kill 
him.

Of course, you might be refering to whether Peter *deserves* the 
dementor's kiss. There was very recently a thread on the matter,  but 
it more or less stopped when it was down to "I understand your point of 
view, but still do not belive in it". Read it, and form your own 
oppinion.

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
