it's not "wrong". in fact it's more likely to result in a stable
situation down the line.
it's more convoluted, something additional to learn, another
syntax to remember... and more consistent. but it's definitely
not "wrong".

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #116 from Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com>
:
Wondering WHICH PACKAGE IS USING UP ALL YOUR DISK SPACE?
You can verify a package's installed size with the dpkg -s command:
dpkg -s <package>
And the following script will grab all your installed packages and show
their installed size, sorted and ranked by size:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
time 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=20
