I do not see why we need this new frontend lock. If there are higher level frontends, they may have to do some locking before calling apt, but they would have to release the locks before calling apt, and then there is race condition. Why not just use the old dpkg lock and make the package managers ignore the lock, if there is DPKG_LOCKED in environment?
