As previously mentioned, du will summarize disk usage for you:
$ du -sx * | sort -nr | cat -n | head -20
...will rank the 20 largest files/directories in the current directory.

You can verify a package's installed size with the dpkg -s command:
dpkg -s <package>
The following script will grab all your installed packages and show
their installed size, sorted and ranked by size:
$ dpkg --get-selections |
grep ' install' |
awk '{print $1}' |
xargs -n 1 dpkg -s |
egrep '^(Package|Installed-Size):' |
awk '{printf( "%s: ", $2 ); getline; printf( "%s\n", $2 )}' |
sort -k2nr |
cat -n
This might prove useful in identifying larger packages. My own top 20
packages are:
1 xemacs21-basesupport: 34346
2 tetex-base: 30995
3 tetex-extra: 28701
4 emacs20: 26554
5 wordnet-base: 25616
6 doc-linux-html: 22768
7 mozilla-browser: 22288
8 mozilla-browser-cvs: 21244
9 mozilla-dev: 20188
10 gimp-manual: 19508
11 kdelibs3: 18992
12 kdebase: 17920
13 dict-gcide: 16962
14 kernel-source-2.2.18pre21: 14964
15 kernel-headers-2.2.18pre21: 14156
16 kernel-source-2.2.17: 13768
17 libc6: 12564
18 abiword: 11601
19 xserver-xfree86: 11372
20 xlibs-dev: 11248
I'd suggest *not* posting your entire package selection to list in
future.
