Thanks for the response! My /boot partition is 239Mb, which is just small enough that a particularly chunky kernel and an upgrade to it is too much. I am not in a big hurry to delete the kernel image I am actively using to make space for the upgraded one - 'cause every 5 years or so I need to boot from an old kernel, and I'd like to be able to.

When I installed Debian on my current computer, I (foolishly) let the install script partition my disk. Now I have a /boot partition that is too small.
How small is your /boot partition? Are you using it for more than just the kernel files needed to boot your system?
I have a /boot that is way bigger than I really need but I wanted room to keep multiple kernels so I can test out different distros that may require different kernels. Allowing 100M per kernel should be more than enough space. I currently have two kernels and they only use 153M of disk space.
The system is using lvm
I don't use lvm so I can't help with that. All I can say is that when I have needed to adjust partition sizes I use gparted. That might not help you.
