Paul, would the patch below improve the situation for you in Debian, or doesn't it matter until we stop making this test flaky?Sure it does help on the infrastructure, but it does paper over the real problem.I was thinking how to lower the severity of this bug report. Is 'Serious' the right criticality for a flaky debci failure?
My (as a Release Team member) threshold is somewhere around 1/5 to 1/7.
If we mark the (apparently) flaky tests with 'flaky', would it still be 'Serious'?
If the test isn't marked as FAILED, it's no longer serious. So yes, marking a test flaky will lower the severity of this bug report.
