On disk size: apt: < 1M aptitude: >15M Have you checked memory footprint on running system? I am guessing aptitude is bigger but I do not have data to prove this. The same goes with speed. I wish to have concrete data though... This is something I will certainly consider for post-squeeze. (I do not feel like breaking translation for this trivial and obvious point.)
