It used to be that I could leave the old kernel installed.  After a
third kernel got installed, an "apt autoremove" would remove the old
one.  I found that much more convenient than what I currently have to
do, which is (remember to) manually delete the old kernel before
installing the third one.  But it requires space in /boot for 3 images.
