Package: apt
Version: 0.9.16.1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

I want to generate lists of install sizes.
I don't mean the Installed-Size of the package I'm asking for,
but the aggregate of everything that'll be installed.

For example

    $ sudo apt-get install libreoffice --assume-no | grep disk.space
    After this operation, 390 MB of additional disk space will be used.

I want to use --dry-run but then it doesn't print such a line:

    $ apt-get install libreoffice --dry-run | grep disk.space

This wouldn't be a big deal, except that packages with no dependencies
will be installed even when I try to answer "no" to apt-get:

    $ sudo apt-get install crossfire-maps --assume-no -oAPT::Get::Trivial-Only=no
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
      linux-image-3.12-1-amd64
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
    Suggested packages:
      crossfire-server
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      crossfire-maps
*** NO PROMPT HERE
    0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 30 not upgraded.
    Need to get 24.4 MB of archives.
    After this operation, 203 MB of additional disk space will be used.
    Get:1 http://apt/debian/ testing/main crossfire-maps all 1.70.0-1 [24.4 MB]

Can --dry-run please be changed to either just print this as-is:

    After this operation, 390 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Or, if that's too misleading, change the tense:

    After this operation, 390 MB of additional disk space would have been used.

This issue occurs in wheezy's apt-get (0.9.7.9+deb7u1), too.
