It does depend what you're testing btw. You tend to test package
upgrades which don't really affect selftest as much as some of the
other changes I'm often dealing with.

I don't disagree with adding a separate target but I do want to make it
clear we should improve the speed of selftest too, I'm not ready to
give up on that yet!
