Usually I include the example program in the package, but make its

But then the binaries generated from the example program get

install a demo.
I haven't figure out a way to specify test programs that don't get
installed, but are only intended to be built and run within the
context of a source distribution.
Couldn't resist a chance to spruik TBC (Testing By Convention) <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/TBC

Haskell.
In addition to a few other neat features like not having to write
boilerplate main functions by way of some conventions about how to run
tests, it knows enough about Cabal to use the package information etc
to link your tests together, and provides a command line tool (tbc) to
run your tests and provide a report.
If you use it and it's helpful to you, or you have any suggestions for
how it could be improved, please let me or Pete know.
Cheers
