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.
