Many packages don't build test suites unless you ask for them. (I know flint is this way; building the test suite takes about as long as building the library.) So we'd need to build test suites all the time, and store the test suites for later use, which I believe is different from what we do know: we delete all the build remnants. You might find the spkg-check file in the .spkg file useful.
