Bug Description

I've this old server with a rather silly partition table that allocates 1 GB for / (and has /home, /tmp, /usr, /var on separate partitions).

I just did a do-release-upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS, and in the end the upgrade failed, because /lib ran out of disk space while unpacking the new kernel modules.

It would be nice if do-release-upgrade checked for sufficient disk space in all partitions.
