Title:
  old kernels are not completely removed from system after upgrade to
  11.04

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, GRUB gave me a list of old
  kernels that however were not in the package database:

  This is the /boot directory

  memtest86+.bin[/CODE]

  but doing:
  [CODE] dpkg -l | grep 2.6.35 [/CODE]
  didn't show up anything.

  Also, in /usr/src/ all old kernels headers were there.

  [CODE]ls /usr/src/
  bcmwl-5.60.48.36+bdcom           linux-headers-2.6.35-25-generic
  easy_slow_down_manager-0.13.7    linux-headers-2.6.35-27
  ipheth-1.0                       linux-headers-2.6.35-27-generic
  linux-headers-2.6.35-22          linux-headers-2.6.35-28
  linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic  linux-headers-2.6.35-28-generic
  linux-headers-2.6.35-24          linux-headers-2.6.38-8
  linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic  linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic
  linux-headers-2.6.35-25          samsung_backlight-0.13.7
  [/CODE]

  I removed entries related to old kernels manually both from /boot and
  /usr/src and the ran sudo update-grub
