That's a bit worse than I expected but not overly so, and we already
have a couple of generic fixes. So this still looks useful :)

The heavy-deps tests are currently no-ops and seem like a waste of
resources in this context. Patch (untested but mostly trivial) attached.

Would it be possible to put a tarball of the failure logs available too
to avoid recursive web crawling? I'd like to run some massaging to get
an overview of the failure modes and their frequencies.

Sure, that seems sensible.

Many thanks for your work on this!
