I don't think you got it. What I was saying is that --print-pkg and
--print-uris are very similar options.
So it would be quite strange to not apply the same behavior to both.

But since --print-pkgs is only a long option, we would need to use
--print-pkg --print-pkg which is very ugly ...
Is it clearer now ?

With alternative, I meant alternative. i.e. I would not take your
-Sp/-Spp patch, but only add the download size when ShowSize is used.
Would you be fine with that?
