Bug description:
  [impact]

  boot-smoke test reboots 5 times and verifies systemd is fully started
  up after each boot, but only gives 35 seconds for each boot.  On
  loaded systems this is too short.

  [test case]

  see various boot-smoke failures in autopkgtest.ubuntu.com

  [regression potential]

  longer autopkgtest times.

  [other info]

  i can't reproduce this failure locally, but it seems to happen
  intermittently on the adt setup.  Therefore, I don't know for sure
  that the short timeout is actually the cause of the problem, but it
  certainly seems likely - 35 seconds really isn't very long for a full
  reboot and for systemd to finish starting all services, especially on
  the highly loaded autopkgtest.ubuntu.com systems.

  There should be no harm, other than delaying an actual failure, from
  extending the timeout.  The test case checks each second if all
  services have finished starting, so on success case it won't wait any
  longer than it currently does.
