Shared infrastructure of course. Note that this includes an update of the initramfs, which is CPU bound and takes a bit on this system. You can take around 45s off the clock for the initramfs regeneration in each run. I did a couple of runs and the results were pretty consistent.
This tracks with my experience: optimizing initramfs creation would produce *far* more bang for the buck than fiddling with dpkg fsyncs...
especially since we tend to do that repeatedly on any major upgrade. :(
