Any bug reports on dpkg and apt regarding the inefficiencies? It is a
software under active development (unlike opkg that has not seen any
commit since Nov-2012 and its wiki page has a number of broken links).

With all due respect, this means you fixed a number of issues with the
new code base of Opkg (which may mena anything between "it was horrble
and now it is just bad" to "it was good and now it is the best"). This
says nothing with regards to the performamnce of any other program.
