Worth noting that "After this operation, 246 MB disk space will be freed." in the apt output is also incorrect.

Need to get 8,841 kB of archives. ... This is acceptable to me, so I start the upgrade process. Partway through, the chromium snap starts getting installed, which is _155 MB_. I would not have installed this update if I had realised how large the required download _actually was_, and I don't trust snapd to behave itself if I terminate the install. This is a frustrating user experience, and I think it should be better.
