Noone is actively working on that at the moment and given that I might be your best bet on continuing the work, I would say I doubt it for jessie – If additional workforce isn't appearing out of thin air of course. Most if not all of the problems I mentioned in my first message still stand. The progress jumping can be observed now in 'apt' at least. ;) The hooks like apt-listbugs/changes are still relying on 'Conf' messages which we would need to generate for them (and they can't be switched to dpkg hooks as it is in their usecase to run before dpkg – and maybe prevent it from being called) and and and ……… None of it is rocket science, but needs someone to actually sit down and do the work; in other words: it will happen asap, but the 'p' might take some months to happen… Best regards David Kalnischkies
