Comment (by mascguy):

 Update: Josh's fix for issue:56793 will improve dependency installation
 times in some situations. And for the most extreme cases - ports that
 depend on huge components like `texlive-fonts-extra` - that fix is a game-
 changer! (Both for buildbot/CI jobs, as well as the user experience in-
 general.)

 Net-Net: For ports like `auto-multiple-choice`, which fit into the latter
 category, we'll see overall dependency installation time reduced
 dramatically. Great stuff!
