I may be able to do so.
keep the kernel you're running and all newer than that.
older kernels, remove.
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 the thing and nobody has missed it so I never bothered to add it back...
have a text file which can specify kernels-versions to keep/ignore from removal.
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.
