Bill Meier, I think GUI application is not necessary. Text-based application may have checklist, too, so it is pretty easy to make a selection. Initramfs-tools may not run the application, but it could give hint to run one in its error message. The script I was talking about in #140 is such a script: 'sudo linux-purge --fix' would do that (interactively with you). The advantage of text-based application is that it can be used via ssh remotely. Your server might not even have GUI. In case of this bug, fixing of broken packages is always needed, so removing some kernels is not enough.
