Public bug reported: 1) If /var/lib/dpkg/lock or /var/lib/apt/lists/lock is detected, ask if it is OK to remove these files before running apt-get. 2) If package installation was disrupted (example: power was lost / system crash), it should automatically run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a instead of prompting to run it manually.
