In general I agree with you.

I normally always run tests by make check.  The only exception is when
I try to run the coverage wrapper manually.

BTW whether it's in Makefile.am or a separate script file, I think we
should also centralize the common script sequence in one place (if we
use Makefile.am that would probably be a centralized shell script).  I
see a lot of duplicates in Makefile.am's.
