And it reports:

But the size is already specified as one of the options.
At least the following works on Debian 10:
virt-install \
--connect "qemu:///session" \
--name "debian10virt-install" \
--ram "1024" \
--vcpus "1" \
--disk
"size=20,path=$HOME/.local/share/libvirt/images/debian10virt-install.qcow2,bus=scsi,cache=none,discard=unmap"
\
--controller "type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi" \
--initrd-inject "preseed.cfg" \
--initrd-inject "late_command.sh" \
--location "http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/"
\
--os-type "linux" \
--os-variant "debian9" \
--virt-type "kvm" \
--controller "usb,model=none" \
--graphics "none" \
--network "user,model=virtio" \
--noreboot \
--extra-args "auto=true hostname=debian domain= console=ttyS0,115200n8
serial"
