Trouble is your system may have a big disk whilst another (eg raspberry)
will probably be very tight on space.
Some people may consider 10Mb to be peanuts whilst others may think of

No, I want to stop apt-get from asking dumb questions. Asking
whatever it is OK to use 1/25000 of disk is a dumb question that
