Hi Tony, IIRC ubuntu has never cleaned up old kernels. But having just had a chat with the -release team, it is a function that is going to be added to 13.04 by adding to the apt-get autoremove function. They are also working on it being automated on new kernel installs. Until then, you need to do it manually.
