Good catch! A bogus UUID for swap in /etc/fstab seems to have been the 
cause of this excessive bootup time.

After having fixed the UUID, bootup times of this configuration are now 
are at ca. 70 secs, i.e. at par with booting from internal HD.
Interestingly the Ubuntu setup had a similar UUID issue. After having 
fixed it there, booting Ubuntu now is at ca. 50 secs.

However, this questions the earlier claims related to the impact of 
disk-io speed on bootup times - If disk-io was the limiting factor on 
this HW, I'd expect booting from internal HD to be significantly faster 
than booting from an external USB-HD. Apparently this does not apply [1].

[1] Both setups' configurations are similar, but I haven't checked the 
details, yet.
