Public bug reported:

One notices *.old-dkms files being left behind still sitting on the disk
after purging the related kernel. This can cause /boot to become full,
and when it gets really bad, even sudo apt-get autoremove won't fix the
problem - only deleting the old-dkms files manually solves the problem.
