After installing byobu

$ sudo purge-old-kernels --keep 2

returned

Command-line option --keep is not understood in combination with the other options

for some reason. According to https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/byobu/purge-old-kernels.1.en.html "By default, it will keep at least the latest 2 kernels" so I just went with:

$ sudo purge-old-kernels

You can simplify the package list line to:

# dpkg -l | awk '/linux-image/ {print $2}'
