Making apt-get powercut-proof

[Andrew Sayers]

That's a pretty handy tool - would you be interested in an option to
start the remote recovery that's being discussed in a nearby thread?

Also, how would you feel if I suggested the options/dpkg script to the
APT development team as the basis for an init script?  I don't expect it
would add more than a few seconds to boot time (or less if there's a
lockfile that they can check for the existence of), and it would tackle
the specific issue I had, where the problem presented as a missing home
directory, and only turned out to be a package installation issue after
much investigation.
