Description Vitaly Chikunov 2022-02-16 21:53:08 MSK 
Help naïve users running apt-get install in xterm or over ssh by (creating systemd session by) re-running apt-get under systemd-run. [Of course if systemd is available.]

Perhaps, under `systemd-run --scope --user`.

Probably, lingering should also be enabled while apt runs.

Alternative solution is built in https://git.altlinux.org/tasks/296591/ -- apt-get is wrapped with a child sub-reaper which does not exit until all created tasks (such as pdeath_execute) are finished. Because of this we don't need to defend them against systemd or reboot.

ps. This will not protect in case of terminal window closing, but, perhaps, systemd-run would not protect against this (not tested), because there is output to a terminal. I believe that only something similar to screen/tmux would protect from this.
