Too late:

#!/bin/bash

for pkg in `dpkg -l '*' | grep '^i' | colrm 1 4 | cut -f 1 -d ' '` ; do
     sum=`{
         echo 0
         dpkg -L "$pkg" \
         | sed -e '/^$/d' -e 's/^\(.*\)$/"\1"/' \
         | tr '\n' ' ' \
         | xargs ls -lgd 2> /dev/null \
         | grep ^- \
         | tr -s ' ' \
         | cut -f 4 -d ' ' \
         | sed 's/$/ +/'
         echo 1024 / p
     } | dc`
     echo "$sum $pkg"
done

Probably quite a bit smaller than feta. Probably not faster (or even
close), though.
