--print-pkg and --print-uris looks good to me

but would you keep your new feature on top of these two options :
--print-pkg and --print-uris only show non-download packages
--print-pkg --print-pkg and --print-uris --print-uris show all
?

an alternative :
what if we added the download size when ShowSize is used?
