Hi,
so this is even more severe than only "annyoing".
Especially for machines with slow or spinning disks, even on machines
with an ssd where the ssd is slow for whatever reason.
1. i386 autopkgtest of libreoffice does a libreoffice build (because of
#1002477 !) and then times out when copying the built tree
2. I lately did armhf and arm64 autopkgtests in preparation of
experimental->sid.
$ grep test.*\-\-\- tmp/autopkgtest.log
autopkgtest [03:40:51]: test testtools-bridgetest: [-----------------------
autopkgtest [03:43:42]: test testtools-bridgetest: -----------------------]

You get the idea. And this _is_ a ssd. Even though a rpi4 so
usb-attached and thus not fast.
(The above only works because I wanted the results and exaggerated with
--timeout-factor=20)
In any case, I consider only *5 MINS* to be a ridicuously small timeout.
