That's probably the easiest way to get it working right now, if you
want to use the teuthology-specific tests. As Tommi mentioned, the
/tmp/cephtest stuff will go away in the long term.

There may be a few more things needed to run some of the tests (e.g. the 
binaries built when configured --with-debug like test_librbd,
test_rados_api_io, etc.).
