The debuginfo is xz compressed, so its unlikely to not be further
compressed by rpms, this means the absolute size measurements from the
feature page is likely to be about right. That would means 43Mb larger
footprint for all the packages installed on my system, which is a pretty
heavy F17 desktop install with both kde, gnome and a lot of other
packages.

I don't know what that means in percent though, as I don't know how to
figure out the size of the rpms I have installed.
