Ok so, for information. I've tracked this down to "Local package initialization:" stuck indefinitely at boot. I just logged on the machine's remote console and ^C 'd it, and that gave me a login prompt (although I could ssh just fine otherwise !) and cleared the autoboot processes. I'm now looking for the reason why this message was displayed and why it was stuck.
