[Test Case] On a system with two old kernels and one new kernel available in -updates: 1) install r8168-dkms 2) install the dkms module for the old kernel e.g. 'sudo dkms install -m r8168 -v 8.041.00 -k 4.4.0-31-generic' 3) upgrade your kernel e.g. "sudo apt install linux-image-generic' 4) sudo apt autoremove 5) observe something like "initrd.img-4.4.0-31-generic.old-dkms" in /boot without a corresponding "initrd.img-4.4.0-31-generic" With the version of dkms in -proposed, the .old-dkms file will be removed when the kernel is auto removed. [Regression Potential] Somebody out there might expect the .old-dkms file to be kept, but that seems like an odd expectation. 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. Note: Filling up the /boot partition causes updates to fail.
