"Skip package" wouldn't really work, because later packages might rely
on the package that's hung. On the other hand, I should imagine it's
possible to kill the process, tidy up any packages that have already
been installed, then give the user the option to remove the offending
package (and any dependencies) before retrying.
Of course, this all goes way beyond my meagre shell-scripting abilities,
so now we're just developing a feature request to present to someone else.
