There are a number of bugs marked duplicates of this bug that really
aren't.  The size of /boot is orthogonal to the issue of purging unused
kernels.  256 MB gives the ability to install approximately 4 kernels.
For some of us that's not enough, and we need to specify a larger /boot.
Shortly, I intend to unmark 1465050 as a duplicate, and mark 1511911 as
a duplicate of that.

Title:
  Kernels not autoremoving, causing out of space error on LVM or
  Encrypted install

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently if one chooses to use LVM or encrypted install, a /boot
  partition is created of 236Mb

  Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills
  until people are left unable to upgrade.

  While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many
  of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk
  and not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the
  meantime support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the
  partition is too small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones
  install.
