[Bug 1045588] [NEW] release upgrader asks to remove the last known working kernel

[Micah Gersten]

Public bug reported:

IMHO, the current working kernel shouldn't be offered to be removed by
the release upgrader.  Even though it's no longer available in the
repos, the person upgrading will have no recourse if the new kernel
doesn't work on their hardware.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

  IMHO, the current working kernel shouldn't be offered to be removed by
