Delays in Grip updates



I've done some testing with grip-cron.sh using a tmpfs and that support
will be in emdebian-grip 2.2.1.

Architecture-specific TDebs are proving to be the biggest cause of
delays running the Grip update scripts now. TDebs are updated each time
the source package version changes. The delays come about for two
reasons:
1. the locale repository is organised via components that are
identified from the locale root
2. reprepro isn't able to "batch" inclusion of packages for more than
one component.

So each TDeb gets it's own call to reprepro - exporting the indices
each time.

There was also a bug in grip-cron (caused by a change in edos-debcheck)
that caused the cron task to end early, therefore causing manual runs
to take longer. Fix will be in 2.2.1.

I'll add some extra timing outputs to 2.2.1 so that subprocesses can be
measured in the normal run of the scripts.
