Bug Description
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.
