Would it be possible to simply add a warning for small root partitions? Just set a fixed "soft minimum" like 5GB, and if the size is less than that warn the user that they may run into problems. That way people who know what they are doing can still attempt installs on really small disks, but the great unwashed will not run into this problem.
