Or at least 2,7G:
The separate /usr is an historical accident, and we keep having to move files out of /usr because they might be needed before mounting it; that plus the inability to autoremove kernels probably explains why this upgrade filled up the partition. Rather than wasting lots of space on / we should stop creating separate / and /usr in any of the standard recipes. (We are supposed to start mounting /usr from the initramfs some time soon, but that's because we need to support upgrades. I don't think it's an argument in favour of creating a separate /usr now.)
