Title:
  [wishlist] Ubuntu could propose to remove old kernels when upgrading

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using Ubuntu a long time (eg Karmic -> Lucid -> Maverick -> Natty -> Oneiric -> Precise -> Quantal..), a system will accumulate several dizains of old kernels.
  Each kernel weights >200Mo, so this is not negligible, and may lead to blocked system if root becomes full. (see Bug #610358 )

  It would be nice if Ubuntu could propose to remove some of the old
  kernels when upgrading from one Ubuntu version to another.
