Synopsis: We can get rid of the check, but we'll need a more clever
naming scheme for the fake packages used to register libraries for
detailed test suites.

The detailed test suites are built as libraries and registered in
place so the test stubs can be linked against them. This is the same
as what Cabal does for regular libraries and executables so that an
executable can depend on a library provided by the same package. To
register the library, we have to create a fake package. Right now,
that package is named after the test suite, so if a test suite has the
same name as the library, we really will have a name clash.
