We only keep a certain number of installed kernels, across all flavours.
Older ones are autoremoved, even automatically with unattended-upgrades.

Title:
keep the 3 or 5 youngest linux-image-*-generic and autoremove the rest
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Keep a configurable number (per default maybe 3) of the youngest installed
generic kernel images.
Onlye the generic ones! Selfbuild kernels are not affected of that.
Ubuntu-Systems running very long without reinstallation. After some
years of updating there are a lot of old kernel-images installed but
never used. It is a lot of space for mobile devices like netbooks,
laptops or smaller.
It can be realize (like feudora does) with a meta-package like "kernel-lates"
which is assoziated with the last/youngest 3 kernels.
All older one would be autoremoved.
Of course there could be selected another solution to make it easier
to configure if someone need to keep all old kernels.
