Bug Description
Since quota is soon going to be enforced, it would be very nice if very large packages on a PPA were flagged
as such (e.g., they could be red or a "human readable" size could be shown in the properties of a package
along with the name, date etc)
This can save naive users like me from copying a package like firefox-qt from another PPA and *then* discovering that it was 1.1G (!!!) and has filled our quota causing upload rejections :-/
Or the system could warn us when copying: "Copying this package will fill your quota. Are you sure?" or something.
In general, anything that would protect us from this situation would be nice.
Thanks :-)
