I'm not sure that would answer the question, but I already worked on
moving the packages' tests files inside the packages directories:
    https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/package-tests

(Note that this branch is not entirely up-to-date, as I haven't updated
it since we added new package tests.)

Contrary to Thomas, I don't really mind that we have tests in two
locations. Per-paclages tests are, in y opinion, better to be
side-by-side with the package they test.

As for the test on the infra, they go where they make more sense: in the
test infra.

My 2cts.

Yann E. MORIN.
