Bug#328514: partman-auto: Multi-user desktop scheme results in too-small root partition, even for big disk

[Geoffrey Broadwell <geoff@broadwell.org>]

Package: partman-auto
Severity: normal


For a 200 GB disk, the multi-user desktop scheme created a 250 MB root
partition.  After a few kernel installs/upgrades, the root partition was
completely full, due almost entirely to using >200 MB in /lib/modules.

To allow for kernel upgrades, the root partition should probably be made
larger, especially when the disk is large enough to leave plenty of room
for the other partitions.
