That didn't fix it.
So, next I uninstalled nscd. At this point, nothing else in apt's
purview explicitly depended on it - though it was still showing up in
straces.
After that, the behavior has been significantly better so far. So...
maybe a bug in nscd?
On that note, just curious: why is nsc
I decided to try removing ltsp, ltsp-binaries and dsnmasq, just to see
what would happen after.
During the attempt, I got a timeout during update-initramfs. Timeouts
like this during apt are common. I ran "update-initramfs -u" after the
timeout, and that time it seemed to proceed normally. I'll

installed) I think it is less likely to happen withou

I noticed frequent, but intermittent hangs/stalls
