This is half worked around now: one of the two datacenters which host
the ppc64/s390x/arm64 autopkgtest VMs now has fast connectivity to
ftpmaster.internal, and the other is not as slow as before (perhaps
some link is less loaded now?). So we shouldn't be hitting as many
timeouts as before.

I'm trying to have the other datacenter get the same treatment.
