--- Comment #3 from Harald Sitter <[email protected]> ---
The archives cache is a cache see `man apt.conf`

The installed kernel topic is tricky though.
The apt in ubuntu 22.04 will eventually fix that [1] with a new option that
will be on for packagekit by default, the apt in 20.04 doesn't have that
feature.

Apt currently only has a sledge hammer version [2] which is technically
accessible by setting autoremove on remove transactions (which discover does
not do). That would, as far as I understand the code, remove all dangling
packages with aptcc, albeit only when removing something not when upgrading. So
it'd only be somewhat helpful anyway and I'm not quite sure it's entirely safe
to use - the kernel use case is fine there are guards in place, but everything
else might get nuked.

In conclusion I'm leaning towards closing this as an upstream bug and its been
fixed upstream already but won't arrive in neon before 2022.
Somewhat relatedly I do already have plans to add space monitoring for /boot to
prevent the user from running out of space for kernel updates without warning.
