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.
