Having looked into it a bit, I'm not sure I understand how you mean.

First, I don't quite see how this would be done in an elegant way for the in-function changes in image.bbclass and packagegroup.bbclass. 

And the lines added to bitbake.conf were put there because they mirror other complementary packages like -dbg and -dev. Is it really a good idea to invent a new way of doing this for -ptest packages?
