thank you!

You are an expert of this package so of course you know what is happening. I'm
not and when I'm faced with an installation step that takes more than 20
minutes then yes, I'd like to know what's going on, what is taking so long and
if maybe something is broken. Knowing which command is actually being run tells
me that it's one command that takes a long time and not a thousand executions
which each are short but are being repeated and it allows me to open up the man
page to figure out what that tool does to verify that yes, it makes sense that
running that command really does takes that long.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
