Are there any examples?  I was looking there and simply didn't see any.  I saw
the packaging for instance exercised python interfaces, version comparison
tools, etc.. but nothing that built a recipe/package and then verified the
contents were 'correct'.

Ideally the test would be to fabricate something with a known set of file
dependencies, produce a package from it and then verify that the package
properly included those dependencies.

I had looked at just picking some random library out of the deploy directory,
and doing a pattern search on it's provides.. but I'm not sure that type of test
would be very robust.
