Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
A dist-upgrade usually takes a long time, which is why you would
probably leave the computer while executing it. The problem with this is
the many required user inputs that interrupt the upgrade and sets it on
hold for hours. Therefore, I propose that dpkg should, while promting
for user input for one package, continue processing other packages in
the background. This will enable the user to deal with all the packages
requiring input at the end of the upgrade or to do it during the
upgrade, at his choice.
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
