As an alternative, you could could remove old kernels automatically by
running a specific script for that purpose e.g. during startup (as
root). Such a script exists. It is called purge-old-kernels. With -y
option it could be used for doing automatic removal as root. I made a
fork of the script; the fork is available at

Title:
Please consider enabling Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-
Dependencies by default
Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you install Ubuntu today with full disk encryption you end up
with a separate small /boot partition (approx 200Mb). It doesn't take
long for this to fill up with old kernels.
While we mark old kernels for auto-removal nothing (on the default
system) actually triggers removal of unused packages; a human needs to
invoke (or arrange to be invoked) 'apt-get autoremove'.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades documents an
Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Dependencies configuration option.
I'd suggest we consider enabling this option by default on new
installs.
