No, there is *not* obviously a problem there. There would be a problem
the *other* way round, as then you'd have the top-level software
package but not be able to install it. As I said, we sort packages in
dependency order and then go through the list as far as we can before
the media is full.

Right, so you can see the difference between GiB (powers of 2) and GB
(powers of 10). Storage media is normally describe in terms of GB, as
that way the numbers look bigger.
