If the machine is broken, I suspect Debian Edu is not going to work
properly. :)

Right. I suspect 5 GiB is too small for /. Not sure how much is
needed these days, but will try to figure it out.

Yes. Adding the last set of packages increased the disk space
requirement with almost 1 GiB. We should recommend a minimum disk
size of 8 or 10 GiB. I suspect it is better to pick 10 GiB, to avoid
disappointed users. The hard limit differ between profiles, and I
suggest we just pick a number a bit higher than the biggest of the
profiles.
