Title:
  Allows resizing partition to create a new partition that's too small
  for installation

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Ubiquity allows the user to resize a partition, creating a new
  partition that's too small for the install to fit in.  In my case, it
  allowed me to create a 2.2 GB partition as part of resizing, which is
  just too small to fit the installation into.  This results in a ENOSPC
  ubiquity dialog, then the install fails.

  This is because the minimum size for the new partition is hardcoded in
  partman-auto.  We can calculate a better value for this, but we wont
  be able to factor for files that will not be copied as part of the
  blacklisting.  This should be ok, as the user will want a little extra
  space for their files anyway.
