I really hope we could take an 80/20 approach here.  IOW, do by default that
which *most* packages will benefit from, which IMHO is installing the tests by
default.  Those packages which have additional dependencies, huge test data,
or complicated tests can always add overrides to separate things into a -tests
package.

Or, make the common things trivial and the difficult things possible. :)
