Although the version you have installed is labled 5.004.04-7 APT was able
to distinguist it from the version in the archive, indicating that it was
a local compile, version skew or something like that, so it installed the
archive version. For your case the installed-size likely was the value
with the difference.
Not a bug, new feature :>
