I don't. I do the following:
BUILDDIR=/tmp/packagename
rm -rf $BUILDDIR
mkdir -p $BUILDDIR
cd $BUILDDIR
before=`df -k / | grep / | sed -e "s/ \{2,\}/ /g" | cut -d' ' -f3`
tar -xf $DIR/$PROGRAM.tar.?z* || exit
cd $PROGRAM
....
I then compare $before with the current df size. This then only
measures the increase from the unpack, build, and install of the
package. I usually do a 'make DESTDIR=$BUILDDIR/install and modify any
other install instructions so it does not exclude any files that might
be overwritten.
