BTW, I think we should go with patch 2 alone currently (i.e. just add --force-unsafe-io). Continuing to use sync() instead of fsync() is the best compromise we have currently to have reasonable performance on Linux with all filesystems. I don't think that introducing a big performance degradation on ext4 users is a good idea at this point of the release cycle even if they have a work-around with --force-unsafe-io. I would like however to see --force-unsafe-io so that we can have the best performance when we want it (in d-i, in temporary build chroots, etc.).
