Bart,
I understand that this can be done either way. What I'm looking for is
the best practice. If half of the packages use facets and the other
half use extra packages, and a few use the faceted dependency, we'll
have a mess.
Thanks.
Tom

Would test cases for a package be expected to be a facet or provided
in a separate package?
The use case that is driving this question is MySQL, which has
thousands of files that make up test cases that can be used to make
sure that your server is installed correctly. In the current
SVR4-based packages, there are separate packages (SUNWmysql51test,
SUNWmysql5test).
It would seem that the definitive argument for source code (that one
might want a different version than the binaries) probably would not
apply in this case.
You can do this either way. You can also leave the package separate,
but have a dependency on the test package w/ a facet to that it gets
installed only when the facet is enabled.
