And the "rc" translates to "Remove/Conf-files". For some reason
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels (triggered by unattended-
upgrades.service) doesn't seem to remove the kernel's configuration
files.
The kernel images and modules are removed, only the package list (and
maybe /usr/share/doc/linux*) is cluttered with the remnants of old
kernels.
Workaround:
dpkg -l | awk '/^rc.*linux-(image|modules)/ {print $2}' | xargs dpkg
-P
# lsb_release -r; dpkg -s apt | grep Ver; uname -r
