Cover letter [Buildroot] [RFCv1 0/4] Generating a graph of the size installed by each package

Of course your approach collects more information, but I don't see these extra info used in the final graph.
The reason is explained a bit further in that cover letter: we only do
stripping and removing of redundant stuff in the finalize step, so calculating the size before that doesn't make much sense.
Exactly.

The alternative of repeating the finalize step after each package doesn't sound
very attractive either.
Indeed. Doing all the stripping and removal of unneeded stuff involves a lot of 'find' invocations on the entire output/target directory, which we probably don't want to repeat over and over again at the end of the target installation step of each package.
Best regards,
Thomas
