It *is* the binary size of the packages. You don't want every -dbg
package on the mirror network.
See e.g.
Package: libgl1-mesa-dri
Installed-Size: 35840
vs.
Package: libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg
Installed-Size: 183696
or
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Installed-Size: 10848
vs.
Package: xserver-xorg-core-dbg
Installed-Size: 33128
