I agree with Paride's assessment here. The purge-old-kernels script was
never really byobu's responsibility — it crept in historically but
doesn't belong in a terminal multiplexer package.

Rather than trying to improve the heuristics (which risks breaking
things in new ways), the plan is:

1. Next release: add a deprecation warning to the script directing users to 
suitable alternatives (e.g. `apt autoremove` or `ubuntu-kernel-cleaner`).
2. Following release: remove the script entirely.

Keeping this open to track that work.
