Public bug reported:

Hi,
while pushing an SRU I realized that on arm the kernels dep8 tests are somewhat 
shaky.
I think they work fine but in case there is more load on the boxes hosting the 
containers for the arm tests it times out (rather often).

Examples are [1], [2], [3] and it seems to occur in about 1/3 of the
cases when looking at [4].

I've seen the same on Yakkety and later. I saw it on Xenial as well, but
for whatever reason less often. Maybe it didn't have to compile so much
back then or the compiler does extra checks now?

However - we should consider if possible to add a testing hint that this takes 
a long++ time instead of letting it time out every now and then.
I'd not like to vote to disable the test, but as-is it is more a burden than a 
good quality indicator.
