My dpkg.py is simply a wrapper around dpkg which parses out the command line arguments to determine which packages are being added/removed; it also uses SUDO_USER to determine the user who called sudo.
apt-get will also install dependencies of the packages you specify. A simple command line parsing script wouldn't catch this. Perhaps you handle this already or don't care to track individual libraries. However, It seemed important enough to mention.
