Bug Description
When you install Ubuntu today with full disk encryption you end up
with a separate small /boot partition (approx 200Mb). It doesn't take
long for this to fill up with old kernels.
While we mark old kernels for auto-removal nothing (on the default
system) actually triggers removal of unused packages; a human needs to
invoke (or arrange to be invoked) 'apt-get autoremove'.
/etc/apt/
Unattended-
I'd suggest we consider enabling this option by default on new
installs.

That's an unattended-upgrades thing. That package installs the configuration files and matinains the unattended-upgrade options.
