A piece of additional information that may be helpful: the tests used to be run 
in parallel.  
When doing so, I would see inconsistent failures on Salsa CI.  With this 
release I switched 
the tests to be run sequentially, and the Salsa CI failures disappeared.  This 
would usually 
lead me to believe that it might be a problem with either CPU constraints 
(causing the 
tests to timeout when run in parallel) or RAM constraints (causing a tests to 
fail if the RAM 
is exhaused).

I do not see any OOM errors in the logs.  When running the tests locally, no 
part of the 
entire build-test process consumes more than 6GB of RAM.  During build CPU 
usage can 
consume a single core entirely, but during the autopkgtests CPU usage doesn’t 
rise above 
25% of a single core.  So, I have a hard time imagining either of those being 
the problem.
