I use apt-get rather than aptitude and have -16 through -19. I did
notice that after kernel upgrades I would be prompted to use
'autoremove' to remove the previous kernel (using 'sudo apt-get
upgrade'). I of course ignored the prompt. Unfortunately, I've had so
many changes/updates lately that I'll need to poke around to see if I
can recreate - I've a lucid test machine that hasn't had it's kernel
updated in awhile. I'll fire it up & use aptitude instead of apt-get to
do the update.

As a side note; on the machine that I updated from 9.10 to 10.04 running
'sudo apt-get -f install' showed nothing required. However using 'sudo
aptitude -f install' resulted in:

0 packages upgraded, 149 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 242MB/261MB of archives. After unpacking 484MB will be used.

lot's of broken bits etc. So, I'm letting it run to see if that will
clean up machine - break it further... (it's a machine that has gone
from dapper thru lucid).
