No, unfortunately not; ptest-pkgs are not sufficient for control of this 
feature. If you have ptest in DISTRO_FEATURES, the ptests are still 
being built for your image.

It would be possible to disable the feature from local.conf though, but 
I would have liked to avoid particularizing this file per image.
