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 t=
ells
me that it's one command that takes a long time and not a thousand executio=
ns
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 t=
hat
running that command really does takes that long.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
