Package: apt Version: 0.7.14+b1 Severity: normal
Upon "apt-get upgrade" when 300 packages are being processed on PII/90Mhz numerous messages like: Processing triggers for man-db are being shown. This looks like inffecient use of the man-db. It is making upgrades slower than before. SUGGESTION a) Please postpone updating man-db after all the packages have been upgraded OR b) offer option to bypass this man-db trigger and give intructions in manual page (next to the new command line option in manaual page) how user can run the man-db update manually.
