I wonder if this is a sign that dpkg is too noisy. It's often hard to see real warnings from maintainer scripts admid the normal dpkg noise. Would it make sense to skip the "Unpacking" message, for example, since it is not necessary for figuring out which maintainer script produced a given message? I also wonder if frontends have enough information to do the coloration you're asking for without parsing output lines. Can frontends pass an argument to suppress messages that are redundant next to information that was sent to the --status-fd?
