Isolating qa data?

Hi,
Given the xz hack, would it make sense to isolate the qa data files
under a single directory, e.g. qa/data/vcl/cppunit/pdfexport rather
than vcl/qa/cppunit/pdfexport ?
What I'm thinking is that a cautious packager could set it up so
that during the build qa/data wasn't readable, then having built and
copied their installation out, then they could perform a make check
having reenabled access to qa/data/
To be clear I'm not worrying particularly about LO,
but fundamentally a lot of the test files start off as random bug reports
and it's rare to look inside the test files for anything odd.
Just an idea,
Dave
