Title:
  node-tap in bionic fails autopkgtests due to timeouts

Status in node-tap package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The node-tap package in Bionic usually fails autopkgtests
  with several intermittent errors caused by timeouts, that
  depend directly on the load of the autopkgtest server.

  It's very difficult to reproduce these failures on a local
  computer that is lightly-loaded, but it's possible to force
  them to happen very similarly to the autupkgtest error logs
  by manually decreasing/specifying the timeout values.

  The same package in Cosmic passes all autopkgtests, and the
  code differences between both releases include 2 commits in
  Debian that cause the timeout values to be increased.

  So, pull those 2 commits from Debian & Cosmic to Bionic, and
  allow the tests to finish properly, so to have more reliable
  autopkgtest results.
