Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
This is a wishbug!
When users upgrade to the development version using update-manager -d or do-release-upgrade -d stats should be collected and sent to some kind of archive (after user allows them to) so that a approximated size necessary can be calculated in order to prevent running out of free disk on future dist upgrades by users (either still on development versions or Stable releases).
A rough number can be the size of the packages plus the necessary amount unpack.
We could tie the old kernel clean up (last good kernel [1]) with update-manager so more disk can be freed up in case there ain't enough free disk.

This of course also affects any apt-get install, on a smaller scale. upgrading any package.
So apt-get should also try to calculate/estimate necessary disk before installing/
