"phleebhut" is not a Debian buildd.  It's possible that 0.29 succeeded only
because someone hand-built the package without a timeout and uploaded it.

No, it looks to me like monotone is running a command during the build that
takes an unreasonably long time to complete on a number of our
architectures.

We could ask the buildd maintainers to increase timeouts for monotone, but
given that the timeout is happening when executing a runtime command that's
*part* of the package, I do have to wonder whether the resulting binaries
are actually useful if they're this slow.
