Changes (by simonmar):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => wontfix


Comment:

 This is a deliberate policy.  For example, you can build and test new
 versions of your package without having to say `-hide-package P`.  In your
 situation, just put the tests in a different directory that doesn't
 overlap with your package sources.
