Bug#72140: Setting up libraries too slow

[Eray Ozkural <erayo@cs.bilkent.edu.tr>]

Package: general
Version: N/A;
Severity: normal

I have a large number of library packages installed on my
system. Unfortunately, setting up libraries is very slow.
Whatever the library tools are doing, they are not doing
it efficiently. Adding a library should have a sub-linear running
time complexity (wrt number of libraries), otherwise
the set-up takes too much time for the user. [ I suspect
it is O(n) now... ]

Thanks,
