Package: apt Version: 0.7.14+b1 Severity: wishlist When updating a lot of packages or when doing a dist-upgrade, a user may not sit in front of the screen for the hole time. When configuring packages, apt should ask for all information needed for package configuration prior to the actual configuration right at the beginning of the configuration process and postpone all informative messages to the very end of the configuration process. So questions like "which locale should i set for keyboard?" or "shall libc6 restart following services..." together at the beginning and all messages like "you have to restart gdm for changes to take effect" at the very end.
