Description

Description of the tech debt to be addressed, include links and screenshots

We need to ensure that the system is in the desired state after an install of one of our packages. Let's add some test coverage that ensures the important files (binaries, extras directory, tiamat pypath, etc...) are in the right place. Because we are testing against 3005.x versions as well, be sure to account for those paths in these tests as well.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing package installation tests and the code or fixtures that define paths for the installed binaries, extras directory, and tiamat pypath. Add coverage for the important paths, including the 3005.x variants; done means the suite verifies these files are in their expected locations after installation.
