It's not a problem, but removing outdated kernels has to be done
manually on my install from the server image. I suspect that if dkms is
involved, then there also is the need to run dkms and to rm -r what is
kept in /lib/modules, at least if you not only want to tidy up /boot.

apt-get purge linux-{headers,image}-4.2.0-18-lowlatency linux-headers-4.2.0-18

I keep my Rt kernel(s) and the latest lowlatency.
