Wow, that is really much too small.  How large is the whole disk?

For the upcoming Debian 8 'jessie' release, I've changed partman-auto to
combine the / and /usr partitions, with the size (or proportion of the
disk) being the sum of the old sizes.

But it sounds like we still need a fix for Debian 7 'wheezy'.
