Hi,

Recently my automatic schroot update cronjob started to contain
progress messages.  As --quiet is documented explicitly not to
do this, I consider this a bug.  For example, after entering my
sid build chroot, the command

# apt-get --quiet --yes install mc >mc.log

produces the attached output.  See the "Reading database" strings
between fetching packages and unpacking them.

Looks like it's linked to dpkg bug #539617.
