This bug was fixed in the package dpkg - 1.15.5.6ubuntu4
---------------
dpkg (1.15.5.6ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low
* Backport from upstream:
- Restore fsync during package unpack (LP: #559915). This is now done
by deferring the fsync and rename for normal files in tar extraction
so that it's done in one pass afterwards, to avoid massive I/O
degradation due to the serialization from each write + fsync. When
creating hard links to normal files on extraction use the .dpkg-new
filename for source as the file is not yet in place due to the rename
deferral.
- Fix dpkg to not lose package metadata on filesystems where readdir()
returns new files added after the opendir() call, btrfs in particular
triggered the problematic behaviour. Closes: #575891
- Report deferred trigger errors on status-fd. Closes: #574599,
LP: #540252
