The 'make test t=...' will not work for test-containers without the container
installed anyway.  And the idea is to regenerate the contain iff some hard 
dependency requires rebuild, like libc.so (adding all installed files also 
does not make much sense). 

So 'make test t=...' where only the test is updated should not trigger a
new container installation.
