IMHO, the problem is the script /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/disk/install.
It does a "dpkg -iGROEB" on the whole selected binary directory.
This can take _very_ long, especially with slow file systems like
nfs over SLIP oder ISDN, or a single speed CD ROM drive.
For people looking at this after 2023, the code is now in /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/file/install
