I posted this question in debian-user list, and was advised to post in this list, because you have supposedelly just decided to remove from the .deb packages a feature that would allow this to be accomplished.
This clue came from Hamish Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please also send a copy of the mails about this matter to me, as I'm not subscribed to debian-policy. Thanks.

Well, I don't care about small things, but the big ones... Is there a way to check how much space a package is using? I looked for an option for the "dpkg -l", so that the size of each package would be shown, but found nothing. -- Luiz Otavio L.
