I was again purging old kernels via the Synaptic package manager manually when I ran into this bug. As others have remarked above, the root cause of having to purge kernels manually when /boot runs out of space is pretty bad; an operating system that purports to be, and mostly is, easy-to-use, should be able to handle that situation far better, by purging old kernels automatically, or at most after one confirmation dialog.
