ps -- some sizes:

280K packages-sorted.gz     packages.gz gunzip'd, sort'd, gzip'd
308K packages-date.gz       the 8 "date" digits are exactly the same on each line
344K packages.gz            a recent packages.gz
636K packages-8md5sum.gz    the 8 "date" digits are *completely* random (from md5sum)
1.5M packages-md5sums.gz    the 36 "md5sum" digits are completely random
