[Bug 1828100] Re: KernelRemoval section of DistUpgrade.cfg shouldn't require manual updating

[Brian Murray]

It was suggested that testing upgrades from Ubuntu 18.04 should also be
done so I tested an upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 19.04 and eoan
(which will become Ubuntu 19.10) and both of these behaved in the same
way with the removal of identifyObsoleteKernels so lets do that.

Title:
  KernelRemoval section of DistUpgrade.cfg shouldn't require manual
  updating

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Eoan:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently the method to determine kernels to auto remove uses a hard-
  coded version number and package base names in DistUpgrade.cfg. This
  need to be updated for every release of Ubuntu and has been missed in
  the past - bug 1828072. It'd be better if the autoremovalable kernels
  did not need to be updated all the time and instead utilized the logic
  apt uses (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove) to determine what kernels
  are removable.
