$(man autopkgtest) has a section about timeouts. The defaults apply to
the Debian infrastructure and I think to the Ubuntu infrastructure as well:
"""
There are five timeouts affected by five values of which: short:
supposedly short operations like setting up the testbed's  apt  and
checking  the  state  (default: 100s);  install:  installation  of
packages  including  dependencies (default: 3,000s); test: test runs
(default: 10,000s); copy: copy files/directories between host and
testbed  (default:  300s);  and  build:  builds  (default: 100,000s).
"""

Where are you missing the info? I'll happily file bugs to request
inclusion of the information.

I don't know what timeouts apply to buildds, but indeed I think they are
much higher to cope with *building* some extremely big packages.

Don't think there is anything to do there, unless you consider that a
place where documentation is missing.
