Your comment do not make sense to me.  I fail to understand how those
caring about the integrity of their system during the dpkg run would
use --force-unsafe-io.  At least I only use it if I care about speed,
and would be happy to start again if something went wrong half-way
through the installation.  When I use it, I do not care about the
integrity, and neither do those building live CDs. :)

Anyway, hopefully someone some time in the future will come up with a
usecase that could make me understand when it is useful to not fsync
the package files and only fsync the dpkg database.
