Package: apt
Version: 0.5.21
I'm not 100% positive about the syntax, but the command line
# apt-get --option 'DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs="touch /tmp/foo;";' \
--yes install hello
should create a file under /tmp/, but doesn't. For script
mirroring parts of Debian, I like to use apt-get install,
without actually installing the packages:
# apt-get --option 'DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs="false;";' \
--yes install hello
But this works only, if I set the option in /etc/apt/apt.conf,
not at the command line. I tried DPkg::Pre-Invoke without
success. I'm working on sarge.

dpkg::pre-install-pkgs is a list.
apt-get --option dpkg::pre-install-pkgs::=false
apt.conf line 57 or so.
