Also note that your test will be run on more occasions than just your uploads of wml, e.g. whenever your (recursive) dependencies get updated and even periodically. One package with such a long running test is not an issue, but we already have several heavy ones [1]. Please consider carefully if this time is really worth it to catch issues. That said, if you really think it is worth it, go ahead. Paul [1] https://ci.debian.net/status/slow/
