You'll find that most of the space in boot is probably taken up by
initrd images. If you change MODULES in the
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file to "dep" (and rebuild initrds)
you'll probably reduce the size of those significantly, by only
including modules that you actually use. (Note: if you're planning to
change your hardware you'll probably want an initrd built with "most"
modules so it will include drivers for hardware you don't have
installed!) Similarly you'll find that most of the space in the kernel
packages is in /lib/modules, not /boot.
