Package: dpkg Severity: wishlist Dear Dpkg Maintainer,
apt is currently unpacking/configuring packages by running dpkg --unpack pkg1.deb pkg2.deb ... pkgN.deb dpkg --configure pkg1 pkg2 ... pkgN this can be problematic for big installations when the commandline gets very long and exceeds _SC_ARG_MAX. One possible solution might be to have something like "--archivefiles-fd" or "--arg-file" argument where frontends to apt can feed data into. If thats a direction that sounds sensible I can start working on a patch for this.
