Re: Debian Install stalls at 5% (at least for 3 hours, don't know if it suffices to designate this state as `stall')

Most likely caused by an out-of-date archive key on your installation
media. There are several ways to deal with that problem:

    * Boot with "linux debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true"
    * Use up-to-date installation media
    * Add the key manually within busybox, by switching to a shell,
      chrooting into /target, killing aptitude and adding the latest key
      and installing whatever you like

I guess that the second option is the best ...

good luck
