Description
I think that it would be beneficial to receive feeback after running the apt-get clean command, telling you the size and/or percentage of the hard disk was cleaned by the operation.

Just do a 'df -h' before and after you apt-get clean and compare the difference in hard disk usage.

AndrewC ??? We know you can do almost everything with simple commands... but that isn't the idea... it would be great to recieve this info as apt-get clean output.
