[Bug 874615] Re: "Restoring previously installed packages" needs status indicator

[Marcelo]

Same happening to me (upgrading from 10.10 to 11.10): Stuck at
"restoring...", with no status indicator whatsoever. This is very
misleading, and I've seen quite a few people just shutting down thinking
the process is stalled.

Title:
  "Restoring previously installed packages" needs status indicator

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the part of installation where Ubiquity restores previously
  installed packages (via apt-clone) there is not enough of a status
  indicator. There should be some kind of notice of expected time-to-
  completion like  the one when it is installing updates, language
  packs, or the restricted extras. While installing, I have no idea if
  it is installing 300 packages (entirely possible), downloading over a
  slow connection (entirely possible), or stuck and doing nothing.

  (Found while installing Oneiric.)
