Comment 4 for bug 420837

I have recently changed Computer Janitor so that it is rather more careful about what to suggest for removal. The problem was that it was considering all common third-party packages as uninteresting to the user, which caused a lot of people to accidentally remove stuff they care about.

The fix for that unfortunately also means the janitor now doesn't think old kernels should be removed.

Perhaps in karmic+1 we can finally fix things properly so that useless kernels go away, but third-party stuff stays. For now, I am satisfied with the current compromise: it doesn't clean up everything, but it does not clean up too much, either.
