Comment 9 for bug 262227

There's not much we can do here. We do not display the messages in APT that this bug is about.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I just do not see any advantage in the colouring scheme proposed by the bug reporter. Colouring itself might be useful in some situations, yes, but only if the important things are highlighted, and not the unimportant ones.

Reassigning that to dpkg. APT now has some colourisation where possible and appropriate (for example, apt list).
