purge and autoremove packages *before* upgrade

The rationale here is similar: we list the linux kernel packages and typically show a bunch of "residual config" packages which we then manually clean up. That's silly, we should just remove then. Autoremove is also similar: we're going to cleanup a bunch of stuff after the upgrade, might as well *not* upgrade those packages in the first place. This should make the upgrade slightly faster.
