Yes, but the _disk usage variation_ is very difficuly to note.

The scope of the enhancement is to have a way to know this variation in 
an explicit and immediate way. The idea is to pop up a summary window 
with all informations (disk usage variation, download size, overall disk 
usage) using a new menu item. So this information is prompted on demand.

Other proposal (adding a button, automatically activate the pop up on 
accept of installation summary filter choice) are essentially discharged.

For the ncurses-gui, there is a proposal and I hope it will be adopted.

Regards,
Andrea
