Some time ago I did estimates for Spacewalk 1.1 and came to formula
* 250 KiB per client system,
* 500 KiB per channel + 230 KiB per package in channel (i.e. 1.1GiB for channel
with 5000 packages).

It might be slightly lower number nowadays because we optimized
changelog data storage which was quite hoggish :).
