These messages are actually coming from dpkg (the progress indicator was
added in dpkg 1.15.0), and there is currently no way to suppress them if
standard output is a terminal. There is a wishlist bug (#539617)
against dpkg to add an option to not display it. Once a version of dpkg
that supports this option is in stable, "aptitude -q" could be changed
to invoke dpkg in such a way.
Cheers,
Sven
