Not too good is it. Now look at the situation you are in. I think I've
been bitten by that in the past.
It seems strange why more people aren't being affected by this, though.

Have you tried Scott's suggestion of using deborphan (provides orphaner)
to see if you can free up some room? Although, I think you'll be lucky to
free up the required amount.
I'd say the debian-installer needs to allocate more room than it does.
