I wonder if something more generic can be enabled to stop other packages 
from doing un-needed install steps during bulk builds, such as rebuilding 
scrollkeeper databases. (Maybe that is a bad example though because maybe 
another package during bulk build requires that.)

If I recall, we used to not generate the font cache automatically because 
it was so slow.
