Hi Daniel, firstly, even if it's bug in cupt, the differences are rather
small, so 'minor' here.

Given the small differences, I cannot try to verify this on my system, so
let's verify the result on yours.

Let's do 'cupt show iceweasel libmozjs1d libnspr4-0d libnss3-1d
libstartup-notification0 libxcb-atom1 libxcb-aux0 libxcb-event1 xulrunner-1.9
| grep ize' and summarize sizes by hand (xcalc, bc -q etc.) to see which
package manager is not right.
