  yup, i read in the ptest wiki page that the ptests are installed
only when the associated regular package is also installed, and i did
verify that bzip2 was installed.

  oh, wait ... damn it ... just noticed that my build incorporates
busybox, which probably gets in the way of installing *numerous*
ptest packages that would normally be installed. does that sound like
the culprit?
