This may lead to output such as: ``` Total: 3 packages (3 upgrades, 1 binary), Size of downloads: 0 KiB, Size of source: {x} KiB, Size of binary packages: {y} KiB ``` Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'emerge' a package with source already downloaded, or for which a binary package has been pre-built. Actual Results: The only stats I'm given are that there is no data to download - I know nothing about the size of the source to be compiled or the size of the binary package to be deployed. Expected Results: More introspection given, to allow a rough estimation of the potential time to install the new package. Rather than showing only Download size, instead show deployment size: e.g. source size for packages to be built or binary package size for pre-built packages.
