Control: reassign -1 debian-kernel-handbook 1.0.21
Control: severity -1 wishlist
Control: retitle -1 debian-kernel-handbook: Paragraph 4.5.1.1. Disk space requirements needs an update (from 2018 numbers)?

The kernel is a big package and if you don't restrict what's getting build via
f.e. build profiles then it will need a lot of space. Especially debug packages
can get rather large. But it could be that the numbers mentioned in the 
debian-kernel-handbook are a bit too optimistic.

"Building binary packages for a single kernel flavour requires up to 15 GB space"
could be technically correct, but unless you're 'deep' into Debian kernel
building, you likely won't spot the importance of the chosen words.
IOW: newbies likely assume they need 15GB of disk space, while that's only
true in specific circumstances (as described in 4.5.5).
