I can tell you that this will never even happen. Too many things can go
wrong with this.

Title:
please support parallel operation
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Hello, please consider supporting multiple package install processes
simultaneously, similar to make's -j command line option.
Computers are getting more processors rather than faster processors at
this point, and this trend is likely to continue.
When doing package builds on my computer I notice that during the
package installs, my CPU rarely goes above 3% utilization because only
a single core is in use. iostat -dmx 1 reported mostly 4-45% disk
utilization, with a mode around 25%. This machine is mostly idle for
most of a package build, because apt and dpkg are essentially single-
threaded.
Thanks
