The /var size should properly stay as recommended. But a sanity check on the available space when enabling crash dumps might be a good idea

Speaking of tuning, it should probably mention a swap partition must be larger than RAM to support crash dumps, and /var needs to have space for nxRAM dumps, where n is how many you want to keep.
I've seen too many people with 2G RAM and 1G swap, or a 1G machine with crash dumps enabled and a 128M /var, as recomended.
