If it's a self-test, then it should probably just include an explicitly
known one for that purpose, rather than hoping something random from
another source will remain suitable.

Then you can test that the output is actually what would be expected
rather than that it just doesn't completely explode in flames trying.
And won't need to B-D on odd packages just for a data file in them.
