Another way to put it is that normally options to enable more tests don't change the binary being tested.

ENABLE_X_TESTS - sounds like it might require some supporting package, but lldb-server wouldn't change
ENABLE_X - sounds like it could change lldb-server, and as a result, some tests might automatically start running (LLDB_ENABLE_PYTHON for example)

I don't want to make you do a lot of work to avoid what's going to be a tiny overhead anyway. Expanding the option description would be ok I think.

(maybe you want a runtime load option later to make distribution easier though)
