I am seeing this on a busy server as well. I am running Ubuntu 10.4 in an openvz container on a busy server. Ext3 is the underlying file system and the server itself is quite busy.
Dpkg hangs for at least a good hour on:
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 14 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/ifupdown_0.6.8ubuntu29.2_amd64.deb
