I updated my review of bug #968257, this time trying an upgrade from a fresh minimal install of Debian 9 'stretch' to Debian 10 'buster'.
With the current Debian stretch (9.13 circa 2021-Q2), I found `apt' and
`apt-get' produced equivalent space usage estimates, and this bug report is
incorrect or no longer applicable. Recommend to close #968257.
regards,
