Because the deduplicated size (== size of all chunks ONLY used by this 1
archive) is relative to the state of the whole repository.
So if you put these files into these archives (nothing else in that
repo, A, B, C have no duplicate chunks):
A -> archive1
A B -> archive2
A B C -> archive3
After creating archive2, the new chunks from B will show up as unique
chunks of archive2 (because they are not referenced by archive1).
But after you create archive3, the chunks from B will be referenced
twice (by archive2 and 3), thus they are not uniquely referenced by
archive2 any more.
