Oh, SORRY! Actually it's the opposite. When running the tests in
parallel the backend-file test times out.

I'm disabling parallel tests via 'dh_auto_test --no-parallel' now
but it seems there are more test failures on the archs where
the build failed previously.

Also see the previously filed bug #888769 for more (mips-specific?)
investigations.
