Yes, but see below

That seems wrong, installcheck should be testing against an installed
instance, and the TAP tests don't. Moreover, from the buildfarm's POV
it's completely wrong, as we call the installcheck targets multiple
times, once for each configured locale. See one of the animals that
tests multiple locales (e.g. crake or prion)

src/test is a mess, TBH, and I have spent quite some time trying to get
it so that we test everything but without duplication, clearly without
complete success.
