** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Some tests (just a small portion of a vast list of tests) is not really
+ breaking due to real issues but just happen to be notorious timeouts
+ or flaky in the Ubuntu build&test environment.
+
+ * We have fixed that in Debian and Impish already, but the same behavior
+ now also affects the MRE of 20.11.3 therefore backport the same test
+ improvements to Hirsute.
+
+ [Test Plan]
+
+ * Build time and autopkgtests are supposed to work (they are anyway for
+ an SRU, but for this fix this is exactly the test that we want/need
+ to do)
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ * If the patches would be wrong they could have broken the tests, but
+ that would then just not build and thereby not migrate. OTOH there is
+ theoretical chance that the few disabled tests would have catched
+ something down the road which they now no more do - but that isn't
+ that much of a regression, more a trade-off that we want to make.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * This initially only affected impish, but later it was found that
+ Hirsute is affected as well. Therefore on this MRE we want to improve
+ it here as well.
+ * To be clear this really is flaky, we could have just hit retry a few
+ times and get through without - but I think we agree that flaky tests
+ are not really helpful and can cause a lot of pain.
