Bug#594201: debootstrap: unhelpful error message when out of disk space

[Csillag Tamas <cstamas@digitus.itk.ppke.hu>]

Subject: debootstrap: unhelpful error message when out of disk space
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.22
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I created an LV with a size of 5Mb instead of 5Gb (my fault).
debootstrap failed with:
   E: Couldn't download dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages
I should have been more concrete to actually tell that it did not have
enought space and this is not a network/firewall issue.

Thanks.
