Sorry, didn't know where whatever was using that space could be (there
was no "du" command available), and I don't have it running anymore.
Perhaps you could say where the usage is likely to be since there's a
chance I will run it again (I am banging against the 137GB barrier I
think). But I was under the the impression that the installer was trying
to unpack debs without remembering to mount /target first, actually,
after I went back and forth between partitioning and installing base
system a few times (with a few errors thrown in between the two).
