It still iterates through all potential directories, this can be done with lrpkg just
the same.

I don't think lrpkg needs to be touched (well, not for that reason)
...
gunzip -c $mnt/$f.lrp > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo -n " $dev"
gunzip -c $mnt/$f.lrp | qt busybox tar -x
might as well be
lrpkg -i $mnt/$f
#Update installed packages file
[ $fnd -eq 0 ] && echo "$f">>$PFX/packages
backdisk="$f=-t $t $dev"
fnd=1
else
echo -n " $dev(cpt!)"
fnd=1
fi

True, but then why. It certainly is not that big.
