dselect does not check for disk full
http://bugs.debian.org/24950

Actually, the disk space needed will include a copy of *both* the old
package version *and* the new one, since (for each package) rollback is
allowed up to the run of the postrm (of the old instance of the
package).

So the required space for some update is more like:

sum(.debs needed to be retrieved) +
max( oldsize(i) + newsize(i), ... ) - 
conflicts without replaces (I think)
