The tests are currently inside kdelibs. I don't intend to change that. 

I only intend to add install() lines so that application developers can use 
the library to debug their applications.

The fact that the test library is already inside kdelibs makes this moot, 
right?

Given that nothing changes with regard to buildability of packages, can I go 
ahead with the above detailed plan?

All the best,
