I am not convinced that testing only libs/singular/ and
interfaces/singular.py is sufficient to conclude this.  Functionality
from various parts of Singular is used all over the Sage library.  I
would be a bit more confident if a global "make testlong" was run, or at
the very least if sage/rings and sage/schemes were tested.
