Title:
  "sudo do-release-upgrade" fails on Kubuntu (asks too much free space
  on /boot)

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Not enough free disk space

  The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 621 M free 
  space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 152 M of 
  disk space on '/boot'. You can remove old kernels using 'sudo apt 
  autoremove' and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in 
  /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your 
  initramfs.

  my "boot" partition is 732MB.
  ONE installed kernel, which is minimum I need, takes about 200MB.
