It would be interesting to know what happens to apt and apt-get without
"Binary::apt-get::", IOW by just using
"APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "1";" without using trial-and-error
technique, without reading one man page linked to another and to
another and to another man page.

Try

$ sudo apt -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::Progress-Bg="%1b[43m" install alpine-pico
$ sudo apt -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::Progress-Bg="%1b[41m" purge alpine-pico

$ sudo apt -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::Progress-Bg="%1b[7m" install alpine-pico
$ sudo apt -o Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::Progress-Bg="%1b033[7m" purge alpine-pico

$ apt-config dump | grep Progress-Bg
