I can tell you what'll happen :)
The issue is where to put the data on the screen and how to keep from
confusing the user. We could definitely say 'total installed size' in
the total summary but putting installed size next to download size for
each package just eats up valuable screen real-estate on a console.
So if you want to file a bug, no problem, just have a suggestion on
where you want this to show up.
