I just pushed a big chunk of code to post-lenny; you might want to update your trees:

The main problem was that I had to completely redesign the entire process of invoking dpkg, bottom to top, in all frontends, in order to acheive this in a reasonable way. I also, along the way, fixed the GTK+ frontend to run its downloads in a background thread. The new code should be a lot more stable, plus it runs dpkg in a tab! There's probably some work left on the design of this code; some bits are ad hoc and a little hairy. I don't have better ideas right now, though, and it's better than a lot of the intermediate states that I went through on the way to the final version. > + For 0.6.0: display a progress bar showing what dpkg is > up to in a notification bar, with a button to open the dpkg > output. Estimated hack time: unknown, probably <8 hours. I left room in the new code to do this, but it's currently a stub (it reads the dpkg status output and throws it away without parsing it). Since that output is AFAIk undocumented, the tasks left here are: (a) reverse-engineer it by reading the synaptic source code, (b) design a reasonable generic wrapper for this stuff, (c) implement that wrapper, and (d) hook the wrapper (probably via signals/slots) up to the main program.

I've set this aside for now, because I'm not sure how to do it; instead, I just substituted an Upgrade button on the dashboard that plans an upgrade and opens a preview tab. > * Dashboard. > > + For 0.5.0: The "dashboard" tab should contain some useful > content. Either that, or we should just hide it. Estimated > hack time: 1-2 hours. The dashboard has a search box, a list of upgradeable packages, and the aforementioned button.

This works, except that I broke the part where we actually display them. It should just be a matter of a little debugging to track down what's happening here.
