Bug#557780: Provide total downloaded size information.

[Raúl Sánchez]

Package: debdelta
Version: 0.35
Severity: wishlist

Hello:

It would be nice if debdelta could inform about the total size to be
downloaded before it starts downloading, similarly to what aptitude does:

<<
Need to get 95.8MB of archives. After unpacking 8972kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
>>

Additionally, showing the actual total downloaded size. This feature can
also be seen on Fedora's Presto [0] which shows a percentage of download size
saved when using it.

Thanks and regards,

you may use the '-v' switch to get more info on the sizes of downloads

I did not implement the question [Y/n/?] since the 'debdelta-upgrade'
does not actually upgrade ot remove packages, so it is always safe to
run it.
