Jason has said he doesn't want to write code for that for quite a bit yet.
And besides, I haven't officially released that(it's not in cvs afaicr)
If you recall, my testing shows that --commandpipe is no faster, and slightly
slower, than separate dpkg invocations.
What you are probably more interested in is --statuspipe. The 2 are not
related.
