Public bug reported:

I am running trusty with full disk encryption and thus a separate /boot 
partition.
Software updater, at times, fails to complete the upgrade telling me that /boot 
does not have enough free disk-space.

Well, it should have the button to "run apt-get autoremove" to
automatically remove packages that may be using disk space on /boot.
(Because on trusty, old kernels are automatically marked for
autoremoval)

This will also lower the amount of support requests elmo gets in the
office.

Also I believe infinity would be happy to not be bugged about enabling
autoremoval with unattended apt by default.

And mpt would be happy, that upgrades are self-serviced.

mvo, please, please, implement this =)
