[CMake] CPack DEB generator: Installed-Size field

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Rudoy,

  This must be a new requirement by newer apt-* stuff.
  Have a look at cmCPackDebGenerator.cxx. The code is pretty
straighforward. You simply have to add the function that compute the
size and then simply insert it at the right position.
  If you get it working, please send the patch back to the list.

Thanks
-Mathieu
