Title:
  Recommended boot partition is too small

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I setup a new laptop with Xenial, using a recent daily ISO. I used the
  default partitioning of the entire disk.

  Within a week I got apt install failures due to /boot being full.
  Either kernels are not being autoremoved as they should, or the
  recomended /boot partition is too small at 237MB.

  Currently, after recovering using 'apt-get autoremove' a few times
  (sometimes it fails, due to lack of disk space on /boot), my /boot has
  26MB free:

  $ ls -al /boot/
  total 193283
