And to be fair in OS X the /Applications folder doesn't strictly contain
binaries like /bin does. Each "application" is contained within a .app
folder, which includes all sorts of data and resources beyond the
application itself. My guess is that Finder basically calculates the sum
of the sizes of all of the folders.

This is harder to do for us since apt potentially disperses files all
over the place. The best we could do is display only the value of the
binary that the desktop entry calls. Which is, like I said, misleading.
