I've been using Ubuntu either part or full time since 2007. I've literally never encountered this.

Which is not to say you're lying, I'm just sort of flabbergasted that this is an issue for so many people. Do you run autoremove much? Maybe that would solve it for you?

I run ubuntu 16.04 on a laptop, desktop and a TV streamer and I get this all the time. My boot partition on the desktop is 15gig and it gets plugged every now and then.
