I think this ties in to similar issue with the boot size we have in
Debian; maybe we should have

Extra-Size

as a field in the snap2deb. But certainly we don't want to query snapd
from inside APT; snapd would need to query the store and at this point
of the process users expect an immediate response. So the deb when
building should figure out the snap size, add 10% to it for safety and
store it in a field.

Note that APT measures the space of /usr when it checks if enough space
is available, and not /, but snaps install to /snap. We don't have a
general purpose way to specify per location space requirements, only a
single Installed-Size field currently.
