This way the configuration should be part of the global package state of the lldbsuite.test package, which all the tests are already members of the same package, so they wouldn't even need to import anything (I think).

I think the problem is exactly that we want lldbtest_config to be *global* state and not package local state. 
Honestly, I think if we are not content with the fix as it stands, the right way would be to change the way unittest2 imports test cases as to use the package-level global scope instead of the global global state as it is now.

That is a good question. One to which “because Python” is the only answer I can think of. I suspect scripts live at the global scope anyway, so we were just getting lucky with those imports making it through correctly.
