None of the entries in that entire file have any influence on the timeout.
I did manage to find out a way by looking at the code:
1) The timeout is hardcoded to 60 seconds (which is stupid design)
2) The only option is to disable the timeout for a service entirely and add a
more sane timeout to the init-script.
