 For example, for the skein package I can't specify

 {{{
 Test-suite runtests
     Type: exitcode-stdio-1.0
     Other-modules: Paths_skein
 }}}

 I want to do so because there is a file used as test data for the tests.
 The file is specified inside {{{Data-files}}}.  But, if I do so, I get:

 {{{
 $ cabal sdist
 Building source dist for skein-0.1...
 cabal: Error: Could not find module: Paths_skein with any suffix:
 ["gc","chs","hsc","x","y","ly","cpphs","hs","lhs"]
 }}}

 Note that the resulting executable {{{runtests}}} works, and {{{cabal
 test}}} works as well.  Note also that {{{Other-modules: Paths_skein}}}
 works on the {{{Library}}}, it fails only on the {{{Test-suite}}}.

 I've include a (hopefully) minimal test case.
