Comment 12 for bug 512096

According to the changelog the patch was reverted to fix bug 537241. (fsync making dpkg too slow)

dpkg (1.15.5.6ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * Revert fsync during package unpack for now; it's unacceptably slow for
    packages with lots of small files, and we can't ship beta-1 this way.
    We'll do something better once it's decided upstream (LP: #537241).
