<p>The status of the dinstall run can be checked by looking at
<a href="http://ftp-master.debian.org/dinstall.status";>http://ftp-master.debian.org/dinstall.status</a>

+ <p>There are currently 6 states it reports:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Startup</strong> Here we save a timestamp of our
+ database (so we could go back using the WAL archiving), update
+ various external resources like the i18n/ structure, move NEW
+ accepted packages around and process new packages for
+ proposed-updates.</li>
+ <li><strong>Indices</strong> During that part we generate
+ various files you can find in indices/ and prepare everything
+ for the next state.</li>
+ <li><strong>packages/contents</strong> Here we write out our
+ Packages/Sources and Contents files.</li>
+ <li><strong>dists/</strong> Directly after the packages
+ files. Everything thats needed to finish the dists/
+ directory, like creating the (much hated) pdiff files
+ as well as the release files. We also cleanup various things.</li>
+ <li><strong>scripts</strong> We run various small
+ actions in here, including the final preparation for the
+ mirror tree, making all the changes visible to the
+ world.</li>
+ <li><strong>postlock</strong> From here on a lot of
+ actions run in parallel. Basically general cleanup and
+ householding actions that do not modify the visible
+ archive.</li>
+ <li><strong>all done</strong> Who would have thought, we
+ are all done.</li>
