Where are new applications installed to? How should the space available
to be taken up by log files in /var/log be reported?

Free space currently lists all of the free space on every partition.

We'll need to decide if changing this is desirable, and if it is then
have a design to report the different kinds of free space ("available to
the system" and "available to the user").
