That would be nice.

EVALUATION
We have a suggested fix for 6533166, attached to that CR, which reduces package database update time, so we would like to discuss what benefit this gives on your 2.5-hour-update machine, and set expectations accordingly.
(Also, there was some duplication in the previous package update script, so that's why you saw some files listed 3 times.)
We could also explain further the progress by stating that we are removing and then adding package database information, e.g.
...
Updating package SUNWj3rt with timezone base directory /usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi
(update time is variable, but this version takes XX minutes.)
Removing previous package entries...
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Africa
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/America
.
.
.
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Etc/UTC
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Etc
Installing new package entries...
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/zi/Africa
..

SUGGESTED FIX
1. Fix the time estimate. Since the time may depend on hardware configuration,
give a range, or do an internal test and compute the estimate dynamically.
2. In the documentation, explain what will be seen.
