Otherwise the author of the package, when writing tests, would have to shoot for a moving target that he doesn't control. I think we have to accept that tests won't be able to cover every possible Bro installation; they are a first line of defense against making sure nothing fundamentally broken. Said differently, the tests generally cannot answer the question "will this bro-pkg operation break my setup"; what they answer is "is this package ok?".
