Vacuum info clarification

The last two lines of VACUUM VERBOSE are:
 INFO:  free space map: 49 relations, 32 pages stored; 784 total pages needed DETAIL:  Allocated FSM size: 1000
relations+ 20000 pages = 182 kB shared memory.
 

I think "total pages needed" should be "total pages used" or "total
pages requested".

I am confused about the difference between "stored" and "requested".  I
read the comments in freespace.c but am still confused.
