Apt's kernel-upgrade lua-thingy at some point had something like this: 
keep latest kernel and the one you're running. It got lost when I rewrote

That's probably an overkill. People who want to play around with several 
kernels can disable the automatic pruning and do so manually, for the rest 
of us "current running and latest" ought to be enough.
