Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist
policy 2.3.8 states "package installation scripts should avoid producing
output which is unnecessary for the user to see". Apt's messages during
install are of no interest to the user and are swept away during the install
of many packages. These messages are also not shown when using gui tools
like the GTK apt front end.
If you feel these messages are truly important, please use debconf.
