>315MB in addition to the 228 that is on there adds up to a rather large
boot partition.

I think what's using up so much space is that it rebuilds all
initrd.imgs it can find and backups the old ones and then adds
additional entries to your boot menu. I haven't looked at the code, it's
just what I've surmised. When you delete some of the old kernel cruft
(including the grub-entries) the additional space requirements should
come down as well.

So one of the questions that remain is: Should there be an automatic
clean up of old kernels? People would loose the possibility to go back
to old ones but wouldn't run into that many problems with full boot
partitions.
