Perhaps if there were a "build_recommends", it might be. As it stands, a user 
often won't know that optional tests are going to be skipped until they see the 
output. And it seems odd to put them in the "regular" recommends-key, since 
they have no bearing on the module's actual in-the-field functionality.
