You'll find that most of the space in boot is probably taken up by 
initrd images. If you change MODULES in the 
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file to "dep" (and rebuild initrds) 
you'll probably reduce the size of those significantly, by only 
including modules that you actually use. (Note: if you're planning to 
change your hardware you'll probably want an initrd built with "most" 
modules so it will include drivers for hardware you don't have 
installed!) Similarly you'll find that most of the space in the kernel 
packages is in /lib/modules, not /boot.
