I filed an unblock request for you, since that seems to be
fallout from britney evaluationg piuparts results, #850950

I now managed to get the piuparts test to finish after removing
timeout from the command line ... strange ...

after installing all the dependencies, we are finally installing
design-desktop:

I'm not sure whether needrestart does the right thing here ...
* it should adhere to policy-rc.d
* it should not run missing binaries
* it should be aware of being run in a chroot
  (right now it enumerates all shells running in the host system ...)
