Actually, to refine a bit previous statement:

- When the packages are in a public "PPA", before clicking on install, the sizes are correct.
- After clicking on install, during actual installation of the packages (orange progress bar shown) the sizes are wrong again.

Yes, I just noticed this: http://i.imgur.com/ILNUS.jpg

I have no idea why it's reporting 79.5 MB when the package only consists of a few python files and icons. (No more that 100 KB or so.)
