Bug Description

Apparently kdump is enabled automatically nowadays. However, after removing the kdump-tools package, the kernel commandline still contains the crashkernel=... argument.

I expect a package purge to undo all the custom things it did on installation.

It looks like this is just missing an `update-grub` after package removal.
