I believe 3.13.0-165-generic is required to be published, as that's
the one that is used by
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
and all the related boot artifacts.
Also please ensure that 4.4.0-142 remains published too, as that one
is used by the hwe-mini.iso and related boot artifacts.
We should realistically continue to support the usage of the last
installer we built
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/20101020ubuntu318.46
Apart from those two, all others can be cleaned up. Or set the above
versions as the ceilings for removals of generic & lts-xenial kernels.
