I want a more general solution, as eva asked for in the bug.  I also want a
testing feature that allows more control than always on or off.  Other
packages already employ USE flags for testing or debug features that
shouldn't normally be enabled (even w/ USE=test).  I'd just like to make it
consistent.

But, that said, I'm happy to let the dbus guys what they want to do.
