[Bug 1357093] Re: LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition

[Sergey Romanov]

Correction.
APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant and APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant are only used by aptitude. apt-get just recycles the values of APT::Install-Recommends and APT::Install-Suggests when deciding which packages should be autoremoved. apt-get's behaviour is also affected by an undocumented and unused option APT::Install-Recommends-Sections that allows autoinstalling/autoremoval of Recommends to be restricted to certain archive sections.

Nevertheless, since APT::Install-Recommends is usually set to true on
Ubuntu, the point 2) from my previous comment still applies.

Title:
  LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently if one chooses to use LVM or encrypted install, a /boot
  partition is created of 236Mb

  Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills
  until people are left unable to upgrade.

  While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many
  of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk
  and not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the
  meantime support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the
  partition is too small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones
  install.
