[ubuntu-uk] Files in .comiz-1

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Tony,

IIRC ubuntu has never cleaned up old kernels. But having just had a chat
with the -release team, it is a function that is going to be added to 13.04
by adding to the apt-get autoremove function. They are also working on it
being automated on new kernel installs. Until then, you need to do it
manually.

Regards,

Phill.
