Since /boot has become it's own small partition, I am not sure it is only 
nice to have as it could lead to unexpected failure of security upgrades.

However, blanket autoremove has it's own problems. A dedicated kernel and 
friends cleanup would be even nicer.

Another problem I have found is that none of the current tools I am aware 
of, remove old /lib/modules/* directories as they often have files in them 
that have been created after install and so the module package remove will 
not remove these old unused directories and files. Perhaps this is really 
a problem with the module packages .remove script.
