export COLUMNS=150; for i in $(dpkg -l "*" |egrep '^i'|awk '{print $2}'); do echo -n "$i: "; dpkg -s $i |egrep "^Installed-Size" |sed -e 's/Installed-Size://'; done |sort -grk 2 

This will get you a sorted list of what is installed and how much
space their Installed-Size.

A more experienced deb can probably suggest a better way, dpkg and her
ilk are mighty, this was off the cuff...
