That scenario is now active in openQA.
Trixie and sid appear not to be affected.

It turns out that 12.6 was slow as well but just made it within the 600 
seconds limit, so this is not a regression as I first thought.

In that case, there is no need to rush things, and we can try to fix it 
for the 12.8 release.
In the mean time, openQA is prepared and will regularly report issues. 
(Bookworm is built by Jenkins and then fed to openQA on the 1st of each 
month)
