Test suite fails for feature/stretch on Jenkins due to lack of space in /tmp/TailsToaster

18:29:48   I may want to use an email client

Around that time, thanks to home-made monitoring:

So, for some reason, running the test suite on current feature/stretch requires more disk space (and probably more RAM).
I’ll investigate why (it might be caused by the changes I did for #12055 (closed)).
