Dpkg still doesn't give you a progress bar? Duh.. so it seems. I wonder if
you could do what Synaptic on RPM does for the things where rpm doesn't
provide real progress info: show the dpkg output text in a label and have
two progress bars going back and forth to give an impression something is
happening.

But then installing .deb's can be an interactive process, I don't know if 
it's possible to invoke a terminal just for those cases?
