Bug#526102:
i have the same problem as you... some files are saved on:
maximi89@Maximiliano:~$ sudo ls -l /var/lib/initramfs-tools/
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72 ago 21 2008 2.6.18-5-486
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 72 feb 19 01:58 2.6.18-6-486
so, when update-initramfs are upgrading create some files, but when delete the kernel why don't delete the old files?...
the same happen with /lib/modules
the old kernels leave their modules there...
