I passed on an IBM ThinkPad to a friend after installing Xubuntu 14.04.
He loves it. Problem is, updates fail. Looking on the CLI, I saw a
disk-full error. Having encountered similar situations in the past,
looked and found many old kernel-related files in /boot /src . . ..
Deleting them showed >700k files deleted. My friend never would've
figured this out. And, Ununtu-tweak choked and aborted.
1. Any ideas on how to fix this? End users should not have to face such
an obscure problem.
2. I personally consider this a bug, and long term. Not sure if it has
propagated forward to later versions. Not to forget that ubuntu 14.04 -
after, it's an LTS release - is supported thru 2019.
Yes, the safest thing is to *manually* remove them after kernel
upgrades. For 14.04, there's a purge-old-kernels script in the bikeshed
package to do that.

It was fixed in xenial. I've no personal experience, though, as I don't
use unattended-upgrades.
