(Hmm, just noticed - "freed". OTOH, that'd be across all affected partitions

and there could still be more used space on some of them...)

Not really, at least at that point - it has only the total size of the
package, both compressed and installed. It doesn't have any knowledge of
what's where until installation occurs, and even then it'd have to look at
the actual filesystem(s).

You've not taken /lib/modules/$VERSION into account, and some of the files
there are generated by depmod.
