I think it's fine to have them in the ppa and a builddeps ppa is a
good way to handle it.

I suspect you may not have got many replies because most people
running the tests will be doing it from branches, not from packaged
bzr source. Being able to run the tests from the package is useful (if
only to check the packaging worked) but having it all neatly packaged
is not urgent for me.  But I am glad you did it.

Perhaps you can also copy those packages into the testtools and subunit ppas?
