What I would like ideally is that I get a miniimage + a configuration  
+ a **FAST** package
loading so that we could load all the tests each time we integrate
then we could have the tests not in the image.

I think that there are different scenarios (dev my app vs changing the  
system)
  and I can tell you that they are change like cleaning image segment  
for which I would
love to have tests because I would be more  confortable with fixing it.
