Try this if you don't like the start-stop-daemon problem:

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # queue command requests for start-stop-daemon
    # DISLCAIMER: NOT TESTED YET
    #
    queue=/tmp/start-stop-daemon
    ssdaemon=/sbin/start-stop-daemon
    queuecmd="$ssdaemon $@"

    mkdir -p $queue

    cat << EOCMD > $queue/$$.sh
    #!/bin/sh -e
    ssdaemon=$ssdaemon
    queuecmd="$ssdaemon $@"

    echo "Running the following command as requested by process $$"
    echo "$ssdaemon as requested by process $$"
    eval $queuecmd
    EOCMD

    echo "Queued request for start-stop-daemon in $queue."
    # End of script

Then, divert the start-stop-daemon locally.  Run your apt-get commands.
Remove the diversion, and run the queue scripts.
