You can extend it using a Salsa variable:

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pyinstaller/-/blob/debian/
master/debian/salsa-ci.yml?ref_type=heads#L9

Note that the default Salsa CI runners have about a 3 hour timeout (I think it 
is 2.75 hours).  So, if you need longer than that, you have to use a custom 
runner:
