Where to stick Ruby tests on the FHS

I'm just packaging up the latest Rails application server (Phusion
Passenger) which is an Apache module that spawns a Ruby dispatcher.
The RubyGem source package operates using the usual Gem relative
directory structure (everything sat under /var/lib/gems) and I'm
pulling stuff out of that into FHS format.
Now this has a tendency to break things initially, and the best way to
check that would be to run the included tests.
At the moment though the tests are not included in the binary package
and I'm not really sure where they should go.
So how do I use the tests with the binary package? Do I
- include them with the package (where do they go?)
- create another binary package just for the tests,
- or do they really live in the source package and I should use that
(and run the risk that the tests will pick up the scripts from the
source structure).
Is there a policy for handling test structures in any of the scripting
languages?
TIA
