Sorry, that word choice ("distributed") was probably misleading.

problem by simply allowing me to define and build targets that

field like `testTargets` or something that allows the author
downstream to link `testDependencies`?</div>

<div>I don’t quite understand because: everything is distributed in
the package, because the package is sources.</div>
