I did consider that, but given the timeout is just limited to PV guest
startup I considered the "TimeoutFactor" too broad.  I think
increasing the Debian PV boot timeout from 40s to 60s is a minor
adjustment, and shouldn't affect other tests.

Let me know if you still prefer to use "TimeoutFactor" and I will look
into it.

Thanks, Roger.
