I guess this bug also causes the massive slow-down during the Ubuntu
installation (compared to earlier Ubuntu versions).

I had already several reports about the standard installation hanging at
95 % (or whatever other percentage). At this point the dpkg database is
built/updated/whatever. The installation does not really hang, but
depending on how slow your disk is, this step can take up to 15 minutes
(perhaps even longer on really old computers).

This also affects the alternate installation, but in a somewhat lesser
degree (according to my own experiences).

When Ubuntu 10.04 has nearly achieved a boot time of 10 seconds (it's
more like 20 seconds on my computers, but it really boots much faster
than before), installation time has almost quadrupled :-( One step
forwards here, one step backwards there
