There are some minor updates today. On one of my systems it needed only a 198k 
Firefox region update. ( It wasn't even a region I am using en-gb)

Other than that, it is definitely slower than usual.


There could be a distinct possibility that the developers are discussing this 
issue:

"Following Friday's release of Ubuntu Linux 5.04, Ian Murdock, founder of the 
Debian project, told internetnews.com: 'Ubuntu's popularity is a net negative 
for Debian.' He explained: 'It's diverged so far from Sarge that packages 
built for Ubuntu often don't work on Sarge. And given the momentum behind 
Ubuntu, more and more packages are being built like this. The result is a 
potential compatibility nightmare.'"
