Can we wait for something much shorter than 10s, to avoid tying up a
process for that long for no other reason than to determine if
timeout(1) exists? And are we sure that the other timeout program
adequately implements everything used by the testsuite, or is there a
risk that the testsuite might be relying on more than just coreutils'
timeout --version, but also some other aspect of coreutils' timeout that
is not implemented in the alternate Debian program?
