What follows is assuming the timeouts are not due to a real hang (I still
have a pbuilder running to see which it is).

I'll ask upstream if it's possible to get a more vivid output ; but that
will only help a future version (if they accept, that is).

For the current version, is there a way to declare a package needs more
time for its tests?
