arm64 still times out on the cuda parts ... :-(
waiting for the ppc64el run ...

Can you hint against that?

Fetching the source package and unpacking it needs > 20 GB ...
That can't even be prevented with an Architecture setting.

I've now copied the autopkgtest from src:nvidia-cuda-toolkit to
src:pycuda - all we need is an installation of nvidia-cuda-toolkit, and
that is < 5 GB. If that works, I'll drop the autopkgtest from
src:nvidia-cuda-toolkit again.
(pycuda didn't have any tests, yet, (its testsuite would want to run
cuda code on a gpu), and the new test is fast enough to be run on salsa-ci)

PS: I've updated src:cub and reduced the autopkgtest by 50%. It still
fails early on arm64/ppc64el (due to some char/uchar mess), I'll take
that upstream once I'm running on the latest upstream release.
