This bug is similar to bug #747579. I should have been clearer. Nothing
was hung (I could verify this by seeing stuff get downloaded to
/target/var/cache/apt/archives/partial). My problem is solely with
display of information, not an actual problem with installation. Editing
OP for clarity, but I don't know how to set as not-a-duplicate.

** Description changed:

  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.
