For RPM, I try to extract the information that is useful for searching or 
displaying. I didnt feel filesizes would be useful to extract so I didnt. Its 
upto you for the ebuild filter. But since filesizes can be only be extracted 
from "installed"-ebuilds and not ebuilds lying in the file-system, and I am 
not sure how can it be used while displaying in beagle-search, I am not too 
keen on adding that information to FilterPackage. Just add them specific to 
FilterEbuild.
