If it is the package that is the "final straw" that pushes a user to 100% full 
filesystem, next time they boot, their system will be bricked. This has 
happened to *many* users with a variety of packages (I don't know of any cases 
of it happening with yours, but it can happen with any package that writes to 
the NAND). There are lots of reports of people bricking due to full NAND on 
talk.maemo.org, for example.
