Bug Description

I've recently been seeing a few livefs builds hanging. The current ones look like:

```

```

(the hanging forever is probably a germinate bug; I will file that separately)

.deb package builds have a watchdog that causes them to time out after a period of inactivity (no build log output). It would be good to have the same for livefs builds, so that we don't end up eternally waiting for builds that are never going to complete.
