I got tired of waiting and tried disabled networking: This effectively
stopped whatever ubiquity was doing and finished the upgrade process.

Title:
  "Restoring previously installed packages" needs status indicator

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the part of installation where Ubiquity restores previously
  installed packages (via apt-clone) there is not enough of a status
  indicator. There should be some kind of notice of expected time-to-
  completion like  the one when it is installing updates, language
  packs, or the restricted extras. While installing, I have no idea if
  it is installing 300 packages (entirely possible), downloading over a
  slow connection (entirely possible), or stuck and doing nothing. In my
  case, installation was not hung (see comment #4); this is a UI bug,
  not a bug in the installation process itself.

  (Exists on Oneiric.)
