 Manpage is showing wrong size for sid distribution. 

That information will never possibly be exactly up to date. There are
possible improvements though:

1) refresh now, once, the size information. The one shown in the
   manpage is now almost 4 year old. Everybody will benefit from an
   update frequency of at least once per year

2) generate automatically the manpage at each upload, so that a more
   freshness of it is more granted. (Still, that should not be
   integrated in the build process, as it requires network
   connectivity to compute.)

Cheers.

This is ok I guess.

I agree. It is not very useful to update it every week, but at least
the dimension should fit.
