Yes please. Currently I put things required for testing into build_requires, but I feel bad about doing it, because testing really is a distinct job from building. Consumers of META information should be expected to merge phase-specific requirements in whatever way is suitable for their workflow; we can't reliably predict what that workflow will be. -zefram
