there is no benefit to include the testsuite if it cannot be run in the install 
location.  So why include that for these cases?  Write an autopkg test and see 
if it runs *and* succeeds in the installed location.  Usually testsuites tend to 
need a lot of patches for doing that.

Also for large testsuites a separate binary package would be preferred, see e.g. 
the size of python-cryptography and python-cryptography-vectors.
