aptitude

Aptitude shows its progress by text - in percents when you use it from terminal by for example

$ sudo aptitude install octave
...
51% [111 libjaxb-java 619 kB/1 965 kB 31%]                                                    > ...

In TUI interactive mode (i.e. started by sudo aptitude) it has progress bar labeled Total Progress when it downloads and installs things, this means after selecting packages to install/remove and then pressing <g>, <g> as shown on image:

Aptitude

If you need more - write feature request to developer.

apt-get

To track progress apt-get you can use special option named --show-progress. See it in action below:

apt-get progress

apt

The apt already has Progress bar with percents on the bottom of the screen:

apt progress
