We have been rebasing your patch on top of the latest master and since
around July 23rd (that is when we jumped to from June) it doesn't
appear the graph generation is working anymore. I think it has to do
with how you are treating the filesystem skeleton now as a package but
really don't know if that is the case or not.

Here is the error that is happening when we try to get the package stats:

umask 0022 && make -C /tmp/linux/buildroot
O=/tmp/linux/build/test-build/. size-stats
usage: size-stats [-h] --builddir BUILDDIR [--graph GRAPH]
                  [--file-size-csv FILE_SIZE_CSV]
                  [--package-size-csv PKG_SIZE_CSV] --skeleton-path
                  SKELETON_PATH
size-stats: error: argument --skeleton-path/-s: expected one argument
make[4]: *** [size-stats] Error 2
make[3]: *** [_all] Error 2
Failed to graph the package size statistics

Thanks,
-Ryan
