Bug#264903: severity

thanks

Hi,

Sorry for not providing a patch, but I'd like to point out that this is much
worse than it may seem.  Our packages don't handle ENOSPC gracefuly.  When
starting Debian on a box with too few space, the desktop task won't be selected
by default, but user can enable it.  If she does that, at some point the
install process will just appear to hang.

This can mislead inexpert users into thinking their hardware is broken, or
that it was a kernel crash, etc.
