Title:
  ubiquity should use dpkg --force-unsafe-io

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  dpkg in natty supports the '--force-unsafe-io' option since 1.15.8.6 which disables the sync() calls when upacking the packages.
    * Add new --force-unsafe-io to disable safe I/O operations on unpack.
      Closes: #584254

  Can ubiquity be made to make use of that? That should speed up
  installation on rotary drives quite a bit.
