This depends entirely on how upstream is creating their sdists. They
might certainly choose to omit tests or even documentation, but I
think that's becoming less popular now that wheels exist. It is
expected for a wheel to omit basically everything except the
application, licensing information and some metadata. This has
reduced the pressure on upstreams with massive suites of tests or
volumes of documentation to strip them out of sdists, making it more
likely they'll ship full source distributions that way.
