4+ years and still not fixed.  And no, to the many people who have
listed how to "fix" it via apt commands, that is not a fix, that is a
kludge.  APT (in its myriad forms) is a package manager.  That means
these kernel packages should be managed.  So here are the facts.

1: Ubuntu now suggests for partitioning a tiny /boot partition.
2: Ubuntu now pushes out several minor kernel updates per month.
3: Those kernel updates do not clean up after themselves.

Add those three together and it means every Ubuntu user will, I stress
WILL, run into this problem in short order.

This is a core package, it is a managed package, this problem should be
MANAGED, not kludged.  But all I see in going back through the history
of this bug is two things which should not be happening.

1: The bug being assigned out to someone only to be assigned to nobody right 
after it.
2: People disparaging others for wanting the issue resolved.
