$ make installtest DPKG_BUILDTREE=/tmp/dpkg

I also have an evil bash script that sets up a namespace where 
dpkginst/usr is a bind mount of itself, which is great for testing 
scenarios where /usr is a separate partition (rename gives EXDEV, stat 
shows different device). I'm not sure yet how to integrate that, given 
that it's orthogonal to the other test options, my feeling is that I'm 
building a matrix here.
