Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Hi,

After upgrade there are a number of leftover
packages from the old release that are removed
but not purged.  The linux-image-* packages,
in particular, take up space in /boot.
Potentially quite a large porportion of /boot.

The upgrade guide should mention that
after upgrade unneeded configurations should
be purged.

I.e. the following aptitude commands do the
job.

  aptitude search '~c'

And after review of the above,

  aptitude purge $(aptitude search '~c')

removes all the old configuration.

It seems that there are no more remarks to the proposed rewording, so I
am taking the liberty of closing this bug now.

Thanks,
