So, what we have is the click package size, not the installed size,
which would be once it's unpacked.
The only way to have the value would be to either have it generated
when creating the click package itself and stuffed into the manifest,
and/or getting it from a future scan-on-upload.
Both those solutions are out of scope for our first phase, since we're
not inspecting the file at all.

Could we start off by assuming guesstimate of (and I'm just making
this up) click size + 30%?
