Don't make testers life too hard either :)

We need a way to get the code to test and we want to run selftest (the
actual installer doesn't embed enough of the test suite for that if I
remember correctly). So we need bzr and its associated test tools
anyway.

Of course we should isolate the actual tests to ensure we don't grab any
hidden dependencies though.

A dedicated test suite for the installers sounds like a good plan anyway.
