Public bug reported:

Please consider separating the haystack full index rebuild from the
package update as very large archives can literally take days to
reindex, blocking any other package updates that are pending.

For example, I have a list archive that includes 500K+ emails - the
source mbox file was 24G when I imported it from mailman 2.1.x. The full
text reindex has been running for 30 hours on a Xeon processor with an
SSD root disk and is showing no signs of finishing any time soon. The
index itself is 2.9G and growing.

It would be great if the package update would either:

1) spawn a background process to run the reindex so the rest of the packages 
can be updated
2) not do the reindex and print a message showing how to kick it off manually


I'm on 19.04 Server, updating from 18.04 Server LTS.

I am trying to update to 3.2.0-1ubuntu1.
