The changes look good, and it works fine on an existing installation.
But there's a problem with a new installation.  The autorebase

I finally killed through the Task Manager.  /var/log/setup.log.full is
full of error messages like

Great find, I've had that happen once before, but couldn't debug it at
the time.  But it's clear now: I forgot to check if find has a path
argument to chew on.  Otherwise it implicitly uses ./ and since it gets
started in / it descends into /proc/registry.  I've now both test for
the empty path and added "-xdev" to the options so find won't try to
cross the filesystem boundaries.

Packages fixed and replaced.

That fixed it.
