Note that such packages could switch to use a dpkg hook --pre-invoke or --post-invoke, or even --status-logger. As far as progress reporting is broken, why can't apt make an estimate based on the number of packages that dpkg already configured ? After all you get live information from dpkg about what it's doing. Any way, coming back to the suggestion, I believe it's time for APT to change its default here, even for wheezy (see related discussion in #680626). On the dpkg side, we implemented most of the possible improvements already (interest-noawait and the fix you requested).
