This test is still failing randomly in the archive or in autopkgtests on
armhf and arm64.
Change thus the approach to define phases:
This way, we control the amount of callbacks we are interested in and
picking, discaring the unwanted multiple inotify event for the same
write on disk.
It seems to make the flaky failure (which only impacts tests, as in a
real system, we are interested even in no-op changes) go away on arm64
after multiple attempts.
