Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub-pc
Removing two kernels involves running update-grub four times when it
should only be run once. I am not sure if this should be filed against
the linux-image, dpkg, or against grub itself. I went with grub
initially since that is where update-grub lives.
Output from dpkg --purge:
$: dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.31-5-generic linux-image-2.6.30-8-generic
