Dear Maintainer,

I have noticed this for some time while installing Debian 13, Recently I have noticed an uptick in people wanting to migrate away from windows. Something I encourage. During installation I generally advise people to use automatic partitioning using lvm with encryption. The issue is with the defailt size allocation for the / partition when asking for separate /home or separate /home, /tmp and /var partitions. On a 1 terrabyte disk it allocates 30 GB for root. This is very small for a desktop. It would be helpful to either have a distinction before selecting a disk, ie "server" and "desktop" or the posibility to change the default distrubtion between the different volumes in the vg. This could help in furthering adaptation of Debian, I have used Debian for more then 26 years now. That's the reason I advise it to others. 
Kind regards,

Lodi de Charro
