Please confirm there isn't an existing open bug report

Summary
In the Discover UI, most applications shown to be updated have "unknown" instead of a disk usage size
Steps to reproduce
- Open Discover when the system has updates to install
Expected result
Every application shows a size
Actual result
Most entries have "unknown" for the update size From inspection, the ones affected are all sourced via eopkgs in our repo
Applications showing an update size: CudaText, Obsidian (both flatpaks)
Addons showing an update size: Ant-Dracula KDE (from KNewStuff)
About half the System Software entries show a size. Ex; Dell System Firmware (from Firmware Updates (lvfs)) Freedesktop Platform (flatpak)

This is a packagekit limitation as pkcon get-update-detail which is essentially what discover calls under the hood, doesn't report the size.
pkcon get-update-detail firefox

I believe discover is going to stop reporting this for packagekit packages and only flatpak going forward but i can't find the MR right now.
Oh really? Discover devs made a choice to not show the data for repo package updates?
This is probably an upstream issue. We're tackling Discover issues in 4.7
Actually there is pk_backend_job_details_full() which also includes the download-size compared to pk_backend_job_details(), discover could potentially try calling that instead
