My own root partition has 36GB used (and another 52GB free). Admittedly
34GB of that is under /root/ (mostly backups of something I haven't
gotten to processing into more appropriate storage yet), but that still
leaves 2GB, 1.6GB of it under /lib/modules/. (That's with 16 installed
kernels, dating back to 2011; I don't tend to clean the old ones up
manually more than once every few years, and nothing seems to do it
automatically.)

Admittedly I have ridiculous amounts of local storage space, but even
when I install Debian in a VM on a 40GB virtual hard disk, I wouldn't
consider allocating less than 4GB for the root partition without *very*
strong reason.

I don't think my current 2GB of system-consumed space on / is an
unreasonable total, all things considered... I boggled briefly at seeing
a few hundred megabytes of usage on / considered "huge".
