The essence of the bug here is that the system accumulates a pile of
kernel versions that are entirely unused.  (When this happens, the
partition fills up, and things break.)  Stated another way, the system
breaks deterministically by failing to clean up unused kernel versions
that it installed itself.  This bug is not confined to full disk
encryption, but affects all configurations with a limited /boot
partition.

This wasteful behaviour is bad, even if there is plenty disk space due
to being able to boot from LUKS with some future (eagerly awaited) grub
amazingness.
