Installed-Size?
Disclaimer: I'm fine with python-support and friends, they've smart architectures. However it's a fact that currently a huge deal of packages in the archive are size-wise not faithfully represented by the Installed-Size field (and the ratio can be quite impressive!). I wasn't here when that field was designed, but I bet an intended use case was to give admins a way of knowing which packages were wasting disk space the most. For sure dpigs relies on Installed-Size and don't have the necessary info to identify stuff like the above.
