The file spkg/installed/foobar.x.y.z is not just an empty file. It's potentially filled with meta information about the installation of that package. It *could* contain a field that says whether or not that install of the package was tested. Thus I think a counterproposal to your fine proposal would be to simply further enhance the spkg/installed/foobar.x.y.z file.
