Subject: dselect should display the size of the package on the selection screen

Hi,

I was wondering if dselect could display the size of the packages along with their description in the selection screen (why not on the middle blue line?)
This would be useful to postpone the update of big packages when you have little time, or a modem connection.
The total size to download is displayed later, but it forces to come back to the list if you find the total too big, and even then you only have the total, not the individual sizes.

Thanks a lot,
Keith
