Title:
  installer creates rather small /boot partition

Status in partman-auto package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in partman-auto source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  The installer (in 16.04 and 17.10) creates a separate /boot partition,
  when required, of only 487M. This ends up being rather small when you
  using the following equation to estimate a minimal size allowing for
  reasonable room for further growth.

  (2*(3*kernel + 4*plymouth-carrying initrd + bootloader))
