Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tasksel
The new system for allowing manual package selection by way of aptitude
has one major flaw: it displays dpkg output directly rather than hiding
it behind a progress bar.
This is not quite as trivial to fix as one might hope. aptitude is run
from the cdebconf-newt-terminal plugin rather than as a direct child
process of tasksel, and so it's kind of tricky to get progress
information back out. My current idea is that we could do this by
running 'aptitude --schedule-only' via the terminal plugin, and then
running 'aptitude install' within debconf-apt-progress in the usual way
so that we get a progress bar. Support for this all seems to be
basically there, but we ought to remove the "Download/Install/Remove
Pkgs" option from aptitude's UI when running in this mode; if people use
this then it will still display dpkg output directly.
