** Description changed:

  Question #186146 is one among multiple where user unintentionally collects 
multiple kernel images in particular with LTS. There is no hint from relevant 
package management application GUIs which advise to clean up those images. With 
future LTS support of five years the issue presumable will extend.
  Expected.
  After installation of a newer kernel image ask the user if previous kernel 
images should be removed.
  Checkbox: yes - no
  If yes, offer a list of installed kernel images, don't list the one booted. 
Advise to keep at least the last functional one.
  Also remove -headers.
  
  Perhaps an additional consideration for the blueprint.
