..to simplify further: ;o) 4350 packages installed onto 23GB, 
Karen could expand that to say 5673 packages: 
arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ qalc 30Gbytes*4350/23Gbytes
(30 * gigabyte * 4350) / (23 * gigabyte) = approx. 5673.913 

..which is roughly one sixth of what Debian can offer:
arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ qalc 30Gbytes*4350/23Gbytes/33823 
((30 * gigabyte * 4350) / (23 *gigabyte)) / 33823 = approx. 0.1677531 

..I'm able to squeeze in a little more into my 750GB laptop disk:
arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ qalc 750Gbytes*4350/23Gbytes 
(750 * gigabyte * 4350) / (23 * gigabyte) = approx. 141847.83 

..or if you will, 4 foie gras installs on top of Karen's. ;o)
arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$ qalc 750Gbytes*4350/23Gbytes/33823 
((750 * gigabyte * 4350) / (23 * gigabyte)) / 33823 = approx. 4.1938275
arnt@celsius:~/FG-git$
