When I discussed package testing informally before submitting patches, I found 
that some people tend to lump all types of testing into one big "Test" bucket 
and get very confused.

By giving this concept a slightly less generic name, we can discuss it 
specifically without confusing it with other types of tests.

The existing -tests recipes are, as far as I can see, standalone packages that 
have little in common with each other. In contrast, -ptest packages are 
designed to be more like -dev or -dbg packages in that they don't have separate 
recipes and they share a common interface.
