Ok, I checked yum and rpm, and the disk space and inode usage delta is tracked in rpm itself. It just adds a "problem" to the transaction in case either of the above are depleted, which are reported on install or erasures. It does the tracking per file as it has that access itself, and compares against the different traversed mount points, so it's more precise than Installed-Size (which is something I also had in mind possibly doing in dpkg once it tracks the files metadata, to report it back to frontends). But rpm also does the comparison against the apparent file sizes, so it has the same problem of over or underestimating the disk usage depending on the target filesystem setup reported in this bug.
