@Matthew:

Yes, I think something more general is wrong. I noticed that a number of
the larger files used by aptitude, apt and dpkg have extreme
fragmentation on my disk (hundreds of fragments). And I have no idea why
that is - do they grow by a little bit every time, for example? Or are
concurrent processing writing files the problem?

I have Dropbox installed, and use KDE, but that is the only thing that
all my systems really have in common.
