Would be easy to submit a bug report or RFE.

There's one bug report already that complains about a missing Estimated
Time value, but I could not find a ticket specifically covering the final
Verification step of all installed packages.

The progress bar calculation would need to become very elegant, however,
to not be degraded to Windows style installers, where it jumps back to 0%,
then moves to 100% again, only to restart from 0% an unknown number of
times. That may be good as a sign of life, but it's not really helpful as
a progress status update.
