If I install LibreOffice and choose to remove unneeded languages, the "free space needed"-number remains at ~430 mb. Only the text says it will save me 250 mb. Is it too difficult to have the installer calculate the space saved?

Won't Change
We won't change this because the installer still needs ~430MB *during* install. The languages are removed at the end. So, the display is correct in that respect.

Seems a shame to write
Seems a shame to write hundreds of files only to immediately delete them. Would it be too difficult to modify the installer to check the 'delete list' as it's installing?

Very Complicated
It's dynamic, so it changes based on the language you are installing in. And the files are written as a big block. We'd need to script out 57 different language sets for each release which would require completely rewriting the PA.c Installer and manually configuring 57 different sub-install sets. As opposed to just deleting everything except what you use dynamically at the end of the install which is done with one already-completed set of code.
