Maybe these status fields could be clickable? Clicking on them would make
Deity actually "df" and "dpkg-dev --contents" to display how much space is
needed and available on each partition. Then if I see, by the status bar,
that the package is at space risk, I can click to see if it actually fits.
Of course this doesn't sound doable in the Installation Screen; checking the
contents of _all_ selected packages may take a lot of time...
