Now http://build.squeak.org/job/SqueakTrunk/856/ is back to a better red
state: one that time out after 20 minutes because of the [Warning signal:
'About to serialize an empty package.']
(like I told in my first mail and like in builds
http://build.squeak.org/job/SqueakTrunk/823/ to
http://build.squeak.org/job/SqueakTrunk/833/)

So applying Chris' fix and repairing the update-stream was not enough to
get rid of it.

The Warning is triggered by #testMcdSerialization
It appears that (self mockDiffyVersion) has no changes...
Though, mockDiffyVersion tries to  change: #a toReturn: 'a2'.
Something in this test is not working as intended, but here I'll stop for
tonight.
