I did notice it, and like I wrote on IRC, it seems the actual failures
were due to distro-info-data being outdated (i.e. at some point there
were no known ubuntu devel releases), the timeouts instead were more
mysterious for me.

Though, looks like Adam Conrad figured it out but didn't bother
notifying us…

OTOH, I'm bothered if a missing test-depends causes a stall like that,
so I'd rather see somebody investigate the test script and figure why it
doesn't just error out.
(CCing osamu as he wrote that test…)

Thanks, guess you'll unblacklist it once this bug is closed?
