Many packages are checked by both spkg-check and doctests. If you take a
package like R for instance, the spkg-check will run R's testsuite, whereas
the doctests will only confirm that R can be called from Sage - there is
very little actual testing done of R.
And then there are other packages like pari where the sage doctests do
way more testing than any existing upstream tests.

I attached an spkg-check file to:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9343
(a major update to pari, which lots of people are involved in)
So soon the Pari self tests should run.
I do in fact get two failures
ellglobalred-sta.dif
ellglobalred-dyn.dif
An attempt to get around them, mentioned here
http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/archives/pari-dev-1007/threads.html
increases the number to 4 failures, but perhaps I've mis-understood how its
supposed to be resolved.
Oh well, someone with more knowledge of Pari than me can resolve these issues,
but at least the self-tests can now be run.
