In loader.py:
 if fnmatch(path, pattern):
 # only check load_tests if the package directory itself matches the filter
 name = self._get_name_from_path(full_path)
 package = self._get_module_from_name(name)
 load_tests = getattr(package, 'load_tests', None)
 tests = self.loadTestsFromModule(package, use_load_tests=False)
But pattern is test*.py by default, and packages will never match that.
Its not at all clear why this is special cased at all, but if it is, we'll need a separate pattern. (Its not special cased in the bzrlib implementation that acted as the initial implementation).
