I use this script, I call it "sz-dpkg". It shows the packages sorted by
size, and the total count at the end, so you can compare it with the
real value given by "df".

I don't use it that much after I discovered "deborphan".

#!/bin/bash
awk '

BEGIN {
	i=0;
	t=0;
}

/^Package:/ {
	p=$2;
	i=0;
}

/^Status:.* installed/ {
	i=1;
}

/Installed-Size:/ && (i==1) {
	s=$2;
	t=t+$2;
	print s "\t" p;
}

END {
	print t "\tTOTAL"
}
' /var/lib/dpkg/status | sort -n
