It can't say more -- only the total installed size is stored inside .deb file
(and Packages file). Actually there's no way dpkg-buildpackage could
calculate amount of space used on each filesystem in your particular setup
(for obvious reasons) and if apt-get was supposed to calculate it -- well, it
would have to download and unpack the file first...
