I've filed a bug report against it, but not sure if its been address in
later releases.

At the time of 1.5 and 1.6, the package installer requires 4x the package
size to be available during an install.

That means, for a 15mb package, the user will need 60mb of free space, or
else the install will fail (adb installs bypass this requirement).  The
error message is also unhelpful: "Installation Failed".

Considering G1's only have 64mb, you're in a rough spot.  We've had a ton of
user complaints with our apps that are around 5.5mb.
