Hmm, I think you're right. Poking around in the log files from one
of my own buildfarm animals, there's no evidence that pg_stat_statements
is being tested at all. Needless to say, that's just horrid :-(
I see that contrib/test_decoding also sets NO_INSTALLCHECK = 1,
and the reason it gets tested is that the buildfarm script has
a special module for that. I guess we need to clone that module,
or maybe better, find a way to generalize it.
There are also some src/test/modules modules that set NO_INSTALLCHECK,
but apparently those do have coverage (modules-check is the step that
runs their SQL tests, and then the TAP tests if any get broken out
as separate buildfarm steps).
