How ? From the Debian repository with APT ?

This is the kernel version, not the Debian version.
The Debian version is in /etc/debian_version.

If you are downloading and installing Debian packages with apt-get or 
the like, you need enough space in /var/cache to store the *.deb 
archives, and enough space into the destination filesystems to store 
their deflated contents. For instance if a package set installs 100 MB 
of files in /usr then you need at least 100 MB of free space in /usr to 
install or upgrade the packages.

Do you need a LV (logical volume ?)
Isn't the point of LVM that it makes resizing easier ?
