Bug#425415: apt: apt-get source is too quiet when verifying files



Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1
Severity: wishlist

apt-get source packagename tells the user step by step what it is doing,
except when verifying the files.

so,  if  something goes  wrong  during  verification  (for instance,  if
there's a lockfile some killed process),  all the user knows is that the
files where downloaded and apt-get is holding still.

being a bit more verbous would  allow the user to understand what apt is
doing and, in case of problems, how to fix them.
