Here's a quick follow-up for anyone keeping an eye on this issue:
Changes were landed in a new dbscripts release and deployed in
the server from there; they worked as expected, including the
slowdown.
Fixing already-corrupt package descriptions did require us to
repopulate parabolaweb's armv7h packages, but everything has
been smooth sailing ever since.
