I've just uploaded debian-security-support 2020-02-21 fixing "#890862 d-s-s:
Please change from su to runuser" and I wonder if this fixes this issue as well,
because "su" starts a full pam session, while "runuser" doesnt do that (and 
I suspect some pam things slowed down your installation).

Can you confirm? (If needed I could provide backports of debian-security-support
2020-02-21 for you for jessie or stretch, but you could also build that package
yourself...)
