What comes to my mind is that dpkg could read a set of commands from
a file. I'd prefer stdin but that's already needed by pre/post inst/rm
scripts. I believe it would be easier to read sucsessiv commandlines from
a file than parsing a huge command line. And at least for me it looks
"cleaner".

Oh yes.
