There's discussion of the issue on the Debian Developers ML. I read it,
but don't post;
a) not a developer (although it's not required to be one to post there)

From what I've read, it's precisely this that triggered the
investigation; Person installing xz-utls notices a pause during the
process and investigated why. I'd have not noticed, I'm sure.
