The real problem is the accumulation of kernels; one or two old
revisions is fine, but after a while you can end up with a dozen kernels
occupying over a gigabyte or two of disk space.  The kernel packages
really need to be reworked to auto remove older versions beyond one or
two.

Bug description:
  default partitioning of ubuntu picks a far too small size for /boot/

  This results in that even after very few security updates of the
  kernel, further updates break due to out of disk space problems

  /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root  157G   78G   72G  52% /
  /dev/sdb2                    237M  202M   23M  91% /boot
  /dev/sdb1                    511M  3,4M  508M   1% /boot/efi

  suggestion:
  allocate somewhat more space for /boot/    250M is maybe too conservative

  workaround
  sudo apt-get autoremove
