My script handles different types of kernels. Including signed kernels.

And you can keep the wanted number of kernels of each series non-interactively (and of course interactively). For example, in Trusty, if you have linux-image-generic and linux-image-generic-lts-xenial installed, you could keep e.g. 3 latest kernels of each series. (The one that the meta kernel depends on and 2 earlier versions, if installed.) `purge-old-kernels` and `apt-get autoremove` do not have this feature.

My script does not care about dkms, if that is not done automatically by standard tools. I don't know what kind of care you mean.
