Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt

Lately I've been experimenting with building my own kernel from git and
building a custom deb. For that reason I often want to remove the
currently running kernel and install a new one. So basically I have a
script:

apt-get remove -y --force-yes linux-headers-2.6.36-custom 
linux-image-2.6.36-custom
dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.36-custom*.deb linux-image-2.6.36-custom*.deb

However, even with --force-yes I get a warning (screenshot attached)
removing the kernel. Now I understand this is normally a really, really
stupid thing to do but I thought that was the point of --force-yes. If
not I'd like an --i-am-insane option to REALLY don't prompt.
