Title:
  dkms package causes linux-headers-* packages stay in the system
  forever consuming disk space

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

  Invalid

Bug description:
  Because of some veird dependency in dkms package, on each kernel
  upgrade old linux-headers-* packages are not getting removed,
  consuming a lot of disk space. Finally, root partition runs out of
  space which causes serious issues. Without dkms, everything works
  fine. I checked dependency and it indeed recommends all old packages.
