It does.

When I build my OpenSSH RPMs, I do a "rpmbuild -ba", and when that is
done I "cd ../BUILD/openssh-*; make tests" (on Tru64 I have to
"SUDO=`which sudo` make tests").  If there's a failure, I remove the
built RPMs and work on it.

In an ideal world, regression tests wouldn't be a part the RPM or .spec
file; they'd be done by the packager (I understand that that isn't very
realistic though).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
