Looking closer through the build history, it seems my 2.3.1-1/2.3.1-2
comparison in the bug report was wrong and misleading, sorry for that.

I was looking only at some architectures, looking through all 
architectures the situation based on all 3 2.3.1-* builds is:

2.3.1-* always FTBFS on armel with tests 5,6,11 failing
2.3.1-* always FTBFS on armhf with tests 5,6 and sometimes 11 failing
2.3.1-* always FTBFS on mips with tests 4,5,6 failing
2.3.1-* always FTBFS on mipsel with tests 4,5,6 and sometimes 11 failing
2.3.1-* always FTBFS on mips64el with tests 5,6 and sometimes 11 failing
2.3.1-* sometimes FTBFS on ppc64el with test 6 failing
2.3.1-* sometimes FTBFS on sometimes with test 5,6,11 failing

So the problems sterted with 2.2.0-1 -> 2.3.1-1,
which actually makes sense.

All test failures are timeouts except the test 4 failures on
mips/mipsel, which are "Failed" and likely a separate issue.
