Hi,

I would love to see more statistics about packages sizes in debsources.

For example, I wonder if the average package size (in LOC) decreases or
increases. It could increase because programs are getting bigger (more
bloated? :-) ), or decrease because software we are packaging for the
first time is probably smaller (the bigger bits are likely to already be
in Debian).

The average can be computed by hand, but it would also be interesting to
provide quartiles or deciles information in a graph.
