<p class="MsoPlainText">the tests manually; Which worked well. However, I feel its worth putting</p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">run whenever we call for 'distro tests' or 'update tests'.</p>

I would suggest to let LTP have its own (= t_external) suite. I think it would get less udpates than t_functional (and wouldn't need a testrun every time t_functional gets a new test), and running the LTP-tests within t_functional would increase the time needed by about 30 mins.
