Public bug reported:
After upgrading my kernel, directories are left behind in /lib/modules
for previous kernel because with the kernel packaging layout, not all
binary packages are autoremoved:
$ dpkg -S /lib/modules/5.11.0-34-generic
linux-objects-nvidia-460-5.11.0-34-generic: /lib/modules/5.11.0-34-generic
$ sudo apt autoremove --purge linux-objects-nvidia-460-5.11.0-34-generic
