That is correct, there is not currently a solution for tests in source
files of Octave packages.

See (and help resolve!) the following open bugs:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41215
  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41298

I believe that your option C is what I described in bug #41298, and I
believe that is the right way to go.

IMHO, I will still write my tests in .cc files and use them while
doing development, with the understanding that the tests are not
available to be run after the package is installed.
