Could you consider please, searching for apt-get and aptitude and add $DPKG_OPTIONS everywhere?

For example apt-get --force-yes -y upgrade issues network activity, so having $DPKG_OPTIONS around for setting higher timeouts would be helpful. This also goes for apt-get update.

Not sure if $DPKG_OPTIONS is useful for apt-get clean as well, but extra apt options do not hurt and we don't know what options apt gets in future. So adding $DPKG_OPTIONS there wouldn't hurt either.

I guess we are happy to accept a patch/pull request for that feature wish.
