thanks

As far as I can tell, all flaky debci checks have now been marked as
flaky and does not trigger debci FAIL any more after 1.4.0-1, so I'm
hoping we can lower the severity of this now.

Fixing the flaky tests have been reported upstream:

https://codeberg.org/fibers/fibers/issues/127

I suspect this may take time to fix, as it could be several different
underlying bugs, and could be kernel/arch/libc-related.

Builds are still flaky due to this problem, but the buildd's appear to
re-schedule builds and eventually succeeds.  We could silence 'make
check' failure during builds too if necessary.  I'm not sure what the
best recommended way to deal with flaky build failures.  Having them
FAIL but eventually succeeds allows us to more easily catch which self
checks and which platforms fail, which may result in some pattern
developing, and help with upstream bug reporting.  But if this is an
annoyance we can do something like:

override_dh_auto_test:
        -dh_auto_test

or something fancier if there is some subset of tests that actually
always manages to succeed (as suggested by those debian/tests/control
tests without the flaky mark).
