Are you sure about that? And even if this is the case: you can still
uninstall the running kernel. I would be very surprised if the new
version uses >50MB more space in / than the old one.

You just need to make sure to do things in the right order, top down.
It looks like you have one big encrypted LUKS container which holds one
PV, VG and several LVs. If this is the case you do not need to care
about LUKS because you only operate inside the container. But you would
need to show your /etc/crypttab and output of pvs, vgs, lvs.

There's been several complaints about similar issues on this list. I am
not sure whether there were any recent changes in debian-installer to
solve that. Now there's still time to report bugs before jessie is
released.
