removing old kernel packages

["Aaron M. Stromas" <ams@us.oracle.com>]

hi,

i upgraded my kernel from 2.0.34 to 2.0.36. then, using dpkg -r,  i went
to remove kernel-[image|source]-2.0.34 but it complained about
/lib/modules/2.0.34 and a number of directories under
/usr/source/kernel-source-2.0.34 not being empty an didn't remove them.

i'm tempted to remove those manually (or should i use dpkg --purge?) but
something warns me that i may regret doing this later.

why dpkg behaves that way and how can i get rid of 2.0.34 stuff? i
intend to install kernel-source-2.0.36 (kernel-image-2.0.36 is obvously
already installed). tia,

-a
