Show package download size in up2date?

After pulling down a few updates last night, I had a thought that it 
would be handy if up2date told the user how big each package that it's 
going to download (maybe during an 'up2date -l'?) and the progess bars 
when the actual download is going state something like 'package name 
####  120k/sec 1:02 left  2.8/10Mb'

At present, from using the up2date cmd line, there's no way to tell how 
big the packages are - unless I'm overlooking a simple option (possible!)..
