Similar here, 7-STABLE (home desktop), system still contains
default kernel and a backup, but without debugging info.

% df -h /
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a    496M    336M    120M    74%    /

% du -hs /boot/kernel*
 30M    /boot/kernel
112M    /boot/kernel.GENERIC-7.0-RELEASE
 29M    /boot/kernel.RVS
 29M    /boot/kernel.old

However, I think increasing the default size to 1GB for /
would be a nice addition for the next release (at least
for 9.0), or default sizes could be percentages of the
available slice or disk space.
