/usr/share/ppd is where the PPDs are located for me. And, sorry, by removing the recursive symlinks, I no longer have this issue. It was pretty straightforward, as I remember. In /usr/share/ppd/foo/bar there would be a link to /usr/share/ppd/foo.
When the update script ran, it would recursively add /usr/share/ppd/foo/bar/foo[/bar/foo/bar.......] which is why the process seemed to hang. I have no idea at what point in time these links were created, only that I did not do so myself. On this system, I started with a fresh install of Hardy and dist-upgraded to Intrepid.
