I guess I was assuming that at some point you might have the following
builds and dependencies (not sure these are all correct):
 ts-seabios-build: [none]
 ts-qemut-build: [none]
 ts-qemuu-build: ts-seabios-build
 ts-xen-build: ts-qemut-build ts-qemuu-build
 ts-libvirt-build: ts-xen-build
 &c

I'm not arguing for this, I'm just trying to explain the problem I was
initially trying to solve. :-)

But as we don't have any tests for seabios and qemu* in isolation, I
guess it doesn't really make sense to treat them separately.
