This is not a bug. It is a feature.
The 'bytes needed after install' indicates the delta between the current
unpacked size of all the installed debs and the new unpacked size of all
the debs. It means the new debs are 1.1 meg smaller when unpacked than the
ones you have installed already and that you will have 1.1 meg more space
in /usr - unless a header field got munged and it is missing a size value.
I'll change the message so it says something other than print a negative
number.
