I wish there was some -o option documented that would eliminate the
three progress indicator lines,

  # apt-get install
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

without eliminating the final line.
-q eliminates none. -q -q eliminates all.

Note I like some of the other progress indicators, so I wish there was a
fine tuned -o option documented. I looked in cmdline/acqprogress.* but
it is all mishmosh, and there is configure-index.gz is no help in this case.

This is from dpkg, because there is no way to supress dpkg's database
reading progress information.

I am also marking 537333 as blocked by 539617 because the fix would be
to add an option to dpkg to suppress the progress, and then have apt
pass this option to dpkg.

Well, apt-get can suppress it with two -q's.
