[Bug 534539] [NEW] Old kernel packages should be marked as obsolete in package managers like synaptic

[José Alburquerque]

Public bug reported:

Some time ago, whenever the kernel was updated on this system, synaptic
showed the old kernels as obsolete which reminded me to remove them (I
still use synaptic because sometimes I like to decided exactly which
packages are added/removed and not leave it up to the system).  This no
longer happens.  It'd be nice if this could be changed to behave as
before.
