Now I have tried the topic in isolation, just to double check.

[*4*] is the CI run of the topic alone, queued directly on top of
Git 2.56, that timed out many linux-* jobs after 6 hours, which was
exactly the breakage I was chasing.

The reason why linux-TEST-vars and linux32 failed is unrelated; they
are failing to download long deprecated Ubuntu 20.04 and CI jobs on
other branches often fail the same way.
