Should have purge-old-kernels script on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS

[Norbert]

Summary:
   bikeshed package has very useful script for removing old kernels.

   For now this script is available on the following Ubuntu versions:
      * 14.04 trusty LTS (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=purge-old-kernels)
      * 14.10 utopic (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=utopic&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=purge-old-kernels)
      * 15.04 vivid (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=vivid&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=purge-old-kernels)
      * 15.10 wily (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=wily&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=purge-old-kernels)

      But this script is not available for the Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS.
      Please adopt this script for Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS.

Expected results:
   /usr/bin/purge-old-kernels script is available on all supported versions of Ubuntu

Actual results:
   /usr/bin/purge-old-kernels script is available only on trusty, utopic, vivid, wily.

I manually downloaded bikeshed_1.42-0ubuntu1_all.deb package from 14.04, extracted it, ran "sudo usr/bin/purge-old-kernels".
It works as expected.

So the purge-old-kernels script may be successfully included to 12.04 package. Please add it.

You're welcome to get the purge-old-kernels script, which moved from bikeshed to byobu, recently. You can install it easily from the byobu ppa: ppa:byobu/ppa. But I don't think we're going to sru this back to Precise or Trusty, I'm afraid.
