People when uninstalling stuff, should not be offered or at least *warned*
when removing one of the last two installed kernel versions. It's really
critical they know that when removing such packages, means that they won't be
able to boot to an older kernel if anything goes bad (and sometimes it does go
bad!).
The last two kernels may be or may not be in the ubuntu repositories, so the
only way I can think of solving this is comparing linux-image-*-generic with
the installed kernels in /boot/grub/menu.lst
As you say in your wiki homepage: "This affects especially people
participating in the development of Ubuntu." - what I'm explaining stands for
development release testers.
+
+ TEST CASE: Install system without networking. Install system-cleaner.
+ Verify that "sudo system-cleaner find" shows the currently running
+ kernel. Upgrade to fixed system-cleaner. Verify that "sudo system-
+ cleaner find" no longer shows the currently running kernel.
