Note that `mvn package` isn't the problem - the entire `mvn install` only takes 
15 minutes on our Jenkins. The delay comes from Jenkins archiving stuff after 
the build.

But I agree that it makes a lot of sense to just run `mvn test` on every 
commit, and `mvn package` only once a day. And if we're going to let Jenkins 
archive anything, we could restrict it to the results of that once-daily `mvn 
package`.
