 Notes:
  1: Requires change to format spec.
  2: Requires opkg to be built with GnuPG and GPGME.
+ 3: There is an inconsistency between the Debian Policy and opkg in the units
+    of this field.  The Debian Policy defines this field in units of kibibytes:
+      The disk space is given as the integer value of the estimated installed
+      size in bytes, divided by 1024 and rounded up.
+    However, opkg apparently attempts to convert this value from bytes to
+    kibibytes in its determination of whether the package's data will fit on the
+    system:
+      pkg_size_kbs = (pkg->installed_size + 1023)/1024;
+    For now, we'll omit this field (as a result, opkg simply won't make sure
+    there is enough free space).
