Yep, the scrollkeeper stuff is the one slowing the install done, and it
is not really needed to run it twice, is it ?

Is it or is it not a problem if the schema stays there even after the
removal of the schema file ? Well, the schema file is a conffile, so it
can stay, but it should at least be removed on purges, and then gconfd
will not know it has been removed, will it ?
Of course, i suppose more gconftool familiar people will have to respond
here, since gconftool's documentation is sketchy (no manpage for
example).
