It turns out removing the linux-image-3.2.0-64-generic package (this also requires to remove linux-image-generic) afterwards gave an error message and my /vmlinuz file was gone.
Marking the linux-image-3.2.0-63-generic for reinstall in synaptic and reinstalling it recreated the files and terminated without errors. Installing linux-image-3.2.0-64-generic afterwards (second attempt) terminated without filling the disk and without errors except for the following thing which I cannot make sense of, it seems to be contradictory: === Running depmod. update-initramfs: deferring update (hook will be called later) Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 3.2.0-64-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-64-generic run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.2.0-64-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-64-generic : Unable to find an initial ram disk that I know how to handle.
