Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: normal
The output from apt-get -q is not quite as clean as one would like it
to be. Included below is a typescript from an apt session; in
particular, the line [Scanning packages] I think should be excluded
from apt-get's output when the -q option is specified.
(I've taken the liberty to replace carriage returns with literal "^M"
sequences in the typescript.)

This is actually dpkg-preconfigure from debconf which produces this output,
and a long time ago (sometime before 0.5.52 in January 2001) it switched to
a simple "Preconfiguring packages..." message, with no progress indicator.
