Oddly, *something* in my Ubuntu installs does seem to take care of
removing old images for me. Embarassingly, I really don't actually pay
all that much attention to what - but I *thought* it was just a simple
"apt-get autoremove" which did it for me... I'm also in the "just one
partition" camp on my desktops.
OK, I just learnt a little; /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal seems
to indicate you should end up with ~4 kernels in there.

There does seem to be a lot of removed pacakges there and only a few
installed.
Do the installed kernels account for all of the space in /boot?
