A fairly recent change to `cblrepo`[1] should take care of the
"Reading package..." bit.  I have opted to not spend the hours
necessary to rebuild all packages, instead all added and updated
packages will be more silent.  When the next version of ghc comes out
all packages will be quieter.

I'd really like to get a reliable way to reproduce the second issue,
so I can see what changes to the install script that's necessary to
deal with it.
