Seems like this change has made the Linux builds of QGIS on Travis
very unstable - the builds frequently take much longer than usual and
result in timing out before completion.

If your PR has reported a failure on Travis, and Travis is saying
"errored" rather than "failed", it's NOT your fault! Don't spend ages
trying to debug it - we'll just have to hope that Travis gets things
sorted quickly on their end.
