I'm in favour! (But are you requesting that aptitude use SI prefixes correctly, or that it use IEC (binary) prefixes?

I think we should go for the binary prefixes. Users will be confused when they read 1k and notice that the package has 'just' 1000 bytes. Plus, the 2^n presentation is much more common in the IT world than the 10^n presentation.
