 The package installer GUI says the install will take something like 132KB
 (yes, kilobytes, the exact number is lost to my memory but roughly of that
 magnitude).  Yet the actual install takes about 65MB!

 I think I know why, but it sure would be nice if that first number were
 not so misleading, or if there were text elsewhere in the GUI saying that
 more files would be installed and what the real size would approximately
 be.
