Hello,

upstream uses "mocha" to launch its test. mocha always uses a timeout,
default to 2s, which is a little short. mocha is widely used in node
modules and we often have to increase timeout.

I didn't find other ways to fix these FTBFS than:
 - increasing timeout in each package (this is what we did in many
   packages)
 - rewriting the whole tests with another framework (bad idea I think)
 - increasing timeout in mocha sources (only when used in Debian build
   to not pollute normal use of mocha, using for example an environment
   variable?)

I think we don't have this kind of generic problems with other test
framework (tap,...)

but maybe other JS-Team members have another idea?
