I think this is a pretty serious issue because if you select Full Disk
Encryption when install Ubuntu a very small (~250e6 byte) partition is
created. Each kernel update creates another (~30e6 byte) initrd.img file
and you quickly run out of space (only enough space for about 4 kernel
upgrades). Typically during the update-initramfs of a "apt-get upgrade".

It is not acceptable for ordinary users to have to manage their kernels
and their free space in the /boot partition.
