Indeed. Well, it can be made more comprehensible:
total used in directory: 19 units; free space on disk: 5.2 GiB
(with a help tooltips on the units).
But I really don't know why dired displays this stuff at all. It seems
irrelevant: The "total" is incomprehensible in any case, and the free
space stuff isn't something I've asked for: If I want to know, it's just
a standard command away.
So I think the line should just be removed; perhaps with a defcustom
(defaulting to off).
