Title:
  Default /boot partition way to little when encryption is choosen

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed server 14.04 ~3 months ago as a vm with 40gb diskspace and
  the standard lvm encryption from the assistent. and i enabled
  autoamtic security updates. now it happened the my /boot was used up
  99.6% because of old kernels and i could not upgrade, i could not
  autoremove and not apt purge - since there was not enough space for
  all these operations. i had to free space with rm first.

  i expect to run a server default install with auto sec updates to run
  and not making itself unupgrdable.

  possible soloutions

  - make default /boot way bigger
  - clean up kernels automatically (make sure /boot don't get filled up)
  - implement grub2 encryption which allows to have a /boot encrypted and b on the same partition as the rest. (best soloution)
