Bug#289419: numbers don't add up

[Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>]

Package: partman-auto
Severity: normal

I installed on a system with a 524 mb drive and partman-auto only
offered me one choice of partitioning schemes, the home_scheme with a
314 mb /, 65 mb swap, and 145 mb /home. I don't understand why it didn't
also let me choose the atomic scheme with one big /. After all, if I
have less than 145 mb of stuff for /home, this would provide more room
for the system to install to.

I suspect that this happened because the home_scheme has the minimum
size of / set at 300, plus a 100 mb minimum /home and 64 mb minimum
swap, while atomic makes the minimum size of / be 500 mb.
