Package: debfoster
Version: 2.5-6
Severity: wishlist

Debfoster shows a series of prompts. It would be great if each prompt
told me how much space would be freed up if I did a "P" (purge)
operation at that prompt.

It would look as follows:

ocaml is keeping the following 5 packages installed:
 ocaml-base ocaml-base-nox ocaml-interp ocaml-nox tk8.4.
Total 44.1 MB.
Keep ocaml? [Ynpsiuqx?], [H]elp:

Note: I know debfoster is deprecated, but I still use both it and
aptitude. Here is why: I use aptitude to auto-remove dependencies of
apps when I uninstall the apps, but I also use debfoster every 3 or 4
weeks to get a list of apps I have recently installed. By this point,
I no longer use most of these apps. So, I use debfoster to get rid of
the ones I no longer use.

please show how much disk space each possible "purge" operation would free
