How much space was needed? The minumum requirement sent to partman

As LVM now hangs when debian-edu-fsautoresizetab try to run in the

It depend on how close we are to the limit, as the packages on the ISO
do not need space in /var/. Also, as Wolfgang pointed out, it will
only trigger with a very small disk.
