I also use eatmydata time to time where it is safe, but sometimes I forget, this is why I packaged the snippet to make all apt runs use eatmydata automatically: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/apt-eatmydata/-/blob/master/debian/control?ref_type=heads I'll upload it when apt also gets a necessary fix to make removing the snippet safe: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/419 There is an equivalent simple solution for GitHub Actions as well: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/apt-eatmydata I'll write a short blog post about those when apt-eatmydata gets accepted to the archive. Happy New Year! Cheers, Balint
