Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to upgrade my system to stretch and had the problem of not enough
space in /boot, old files with the ending initrd.img-*.old-dkms were lingering
arround (see below) and have not been automatically removed by the upgrade or
upgrades before.

It would be nice, if these files would be automatically removed when the old
kernels are removed.

Thanks for the efford!
Clara
