It is quite hard to make sure that there is enough space, since the user
could use several different mount points for his file system and we
don't know how much space the installed packages requires in each
directory.
The problem is that the packages are downloaded as root. And root is
allowed to fill up the file system completely. We could only check if
the package could be downloaded safely.
I will take a look at mvo's code in the dist-upgrade tool.
