apt can bring his own dpkg-logger. When asking apt to install, it can
establish his logger and handle the messages (and pass them to the
dpkg-logger that was in use before installing).

As you said: There should only be important messages. OK, there can be
important informational messages. He did define different levels
didn't he, so this should be OK. If we capture stdout / stderr (as
Joey proposed), we can define, that informal messages should go to
stdout and the important non-informal to stderr.
