Apparently this confuses users. Can you add a clarification that it actually isn’t important? Or for that matter educate me on why it is.

Well, part of the reason was the thought that less packages installed, less chance for the ‘you must uninstall these packages’ thing in the Updater UI to get confused.
Also, (but I’m not sure of this), possibly the download has to fetch less packages.
They are just cached, and on the home partition at that.
Surely that recalculates every time you view it?
I don’t know what it does exactly, but I have never seen it being right 
But you’re right, that warning isn’t that important, I can remove it.

Really that should be && cp -nv (i.e. add the -n option) to prevent accidentally overwriting a backup with a stripped exe if you run the script again.

Good point. This might save one’s ass.
