I do not expect users to be running them. Installing them properly makes
it much easier to create a build-from-scratch setup including i-g-t.
This way for example with Yocto, which I myself use, a software stack
can be built in complete isolation from development machine stack and
installed into the DUT for inspection (including source-level debugging
with gdb). I do not see why the i-g-t tests would be deliberately made
not to package, when they are used for regression testing.
