Bug#80123: Pre-Download hook

[Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.4.7
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to have a hook that would run before downloading any packages,
and be fed a pipeline of package info (version 1 or version 2, like
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs).  This would allow something like apt-listchanges to
gather and display changelog information before any packages are downloaded,
once a facility exists for doing so.
