Public bug reported:
This is related to #1465050.
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: 1:16.04.16
What I expected to happen: Attempting xenial -> yakkety upgrade, using a
previously installed system with the default partitioning scheme, would
succeed.
What happened:
With a 256MB /boot [1] partition on a system using EFI (having the
normal two kernels [2] with initrd, vmlinuz and vmlinuz.efi.signed),
`do-release-upgrade -d` exits warning insufficient space in /boot [3].
Manually working around this is fine, but I suspect this isn't that
uncommon a configuration and release-upgrader might need logic to remove
the backup kernel to free sufficient space?
[1]:
/dev/sda2 237M 121M 104M 54% /boot
/dev/sda1 511M 3.6M 508M 1% /boot/efi
(this was the install default for xenial beta-1, I think)

[3]:
The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 118 M free
space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 9,134 k of
disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages
of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.
