It's probably worth mentioning before you file too many bugs similar to
this one that Meson has a feature that's really useful in this situation:
if debian/rules passes an argument like `--timeout-multiplier 5` to
`meson test`, then all test(timeout:) arguments are multiplied by 5.

Choosing an appropriate --timeout-multiplier is often enough to make
tests pass on slower buildds without having to patch any upstream source,
which reduces the time spent on rebasing patches later.
