What exactly is "behind dpkg's back" here? This was discussed, in the open, years ago!
This was implemented, as an option, years ago. This was implemented fully in other distributions years ago! Fedora has had it for a decade, with few problems.
Dpkg has a few minor bugs with it so it needs to be fixed. It's holding up progress here.
