Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor

When upgrading a whole lot of packages with apt, it will use phrases like 
'downloading
450K of packages, 1K will be used'. This leads to user confusion as they don't
understand how 450K of compressed packages can lead to only 1K usage. What apt 
really
means is that current disk usage will increase by 1K --- the message should 
really be
rephrased IMHO. Of course a similar change would be necessary the other way for 
when
apt frees up space on aggregate.
