pkgsel uses the APT::Status-Fd interface to display download and install
progress in a progress bar in the d-i UI. While aptitude actually does a
better job of displaying progress via the statusfd than apt-get (it
includes the download time estimate, which apt-get for some reason does
not), it is missing the file transfer rate.

You can reproduce this outside of d-i with a command like:

debconf-apt-progress -- aptitude -y install x-window-system
