[Bug 1355026] Re: small /boot (as created for full-disk encryption) confuses update-manager

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Description changed:

  Every time a kernel update comes in, the update-manager scolds me for
  not having enough disk free on /boot.  I try to autoremove everything I
  can, but in the end `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` does the upgrade with no
  problems.
  
  Separately from why the installer gave me such a teensy /boot (doesn't
  seem future-proof given the trends for kernel sizes), why can't update-
  manager work out the upgrade?
  
+ Not to be confused with bug 1389620, where autoremove would leave enough
+ space but Software Updater doesn't suggest it.
