Automatic partition creation, root partition too small

[André <andre@rodier.me>]

Hi,

When using the automatic partition scheme, Debian creates a root 
partition of about 320Mb.

It maybe enough to start, but this is too small after a while, for many 
reasons:

- When the kernel get updated, and the option "generic" has been 
selected, it is possible to fill the root partition, and the update 
fail.
- When using backported kernels, same errors may happen during the 
upgrade.

Whe the root partition is full, the system is then difficult to upgrade, 
and manual intervention is often needed.

I think the default size of the root partition need to be expanded to 
1Gb. Today, hard drives are big enough for this size.

Kind regards.
