Here's one way:
#! /bin/sh
dpkg-query -l '*' \
grep ^ii \
| tr -s ' ' \
| cut -f 2 -d ' ' \
| while read package ; do
size=$(dpkg -L $package \
| while read file ; do
[ -f "$file" ] && echo "$file"
done \
| tr '\n' '\0' \
| du -cs --files0-from=- \
| tail -1 \
| cut -f 1 -d ' ')
echo $size $package
done \
| sort -rn
