With Ubuntu 9.10 installed afresh in double-boot (vista) and then
updated, the computer has kernels 2.6.31-14 & 2.6.31-20.

9.10 installs grub-pc, which generates a menu with both kernels (&
vista).

Computer-janitor 1.13.3 (which btw reports 1.11 in Help/About) offers to
remove linux-headers-2.6.31-14 & linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic, but
not linux-image-*.

Consequently, when the selected tasks are executed, Computer-janitor
finds no further packages to remove, but update-grub still finds
2.6.31-14 and generates a menu for both kernels:

Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-20-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-20-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows Vista (loader) on /dev/sda1
done

It is possible to boot on either of the kernels.

I expected 2.6.31-14 to be removed completely from the computer, and
grub updated by Computer-janitor to reflect this.
