Sorry; I'd send this somewhere better, but I'm not quite sure which
component is actually responsible for this.
On my x86 laptop, debian-installer chose to partition the drive thusly:
major minor #blocks name
3 0 39070080 hda
3 1 146632 hda1 (/)
3 2 1 hda2
3 5 4882720 hda5 (/usr)
3 6 2929720 hda6 (/var)
3 7 390568 hda7 (/tmp)
3 8 30219808 hda8 (/home)
3 9 500440 hda9 (swap)
The 130-odd MB found on / is insufficient to allow one to have both
2.6.7 and 2.6.8 installed simultaneously, at least with the other
packages I have installed. This is a problem as one is required to
"know what you are doing" to purge the kernel one is currently running.
Another 50MB or so would allow one to have two kernel-images installed.
Doubling it to 260MB or so would allow several kernels to be installed
simultaneously, as well as allowing for future growth in the population
of /bin, /sbin and /etc.

If it's fixed in current versions of partman-auto, then I'll close this bug.
I did the install ages ago and only recently had cause to upgrade the kernel.
