Thanks for the notice.

The generation of the file containing, for all archs, the reverse map file ->
package, is very long for a reason I don't understand for the moment.

In detail, sort -T seems to block while there are both enough ram and disk to
handle that.

As this never ends, the db file generated from the sort -T output is never
considered finished, and never put in place for packages.d.o operation. 

I'll copy the files from picconi and try to reproduce that at home..
