I changed this to print the following now, hopefully it addresses your
concerns:

  ...
  1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 196 not upgraded.
  Need to get 66.0 kB of archives. After unpacking 9,216 B will be used.

  Note: Using 'Download Only' mode, no other actions will be performed.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] n
  Abort.


Cheers.
