Yes, it will allow us to proceed to the review

Great

Should not. The code sample pasted from Date_Holidays allow to run from source
or from installation and is used by lot of pear extensions (pear project run an
jenkins server for QA)

Yes.

I think you can post a upstream RFE to add test suite in the tarball
(role="test")
Then, it will become a "must" to run this test suite during %check.

I have add such %check in lot of packages, you can look at for example (and
usefull tips). Of course I can help you on this feature.

This big change will introduce some complexity (more BR) but also more QA.
