Customizing the size of your /boot partition is already possible in
ubiquity.  This bug report is saying that the *default* size of the /boot
partition is too small.

I haven't verified whether it is or isn't too small for the default use case
in xenial, though Brian's comment #5 indicates that it is too small.  But
that has nothing to do with supporting the install of "more than 4 kernels
for testing purposes".

Ok, so maybe you want to mark bug #1553442 as a duplicate of the *other*
bug, since Stuart's symptom is definitely a result of the lack of
autoremoval.
