Rest assured I forgot to mention the contents of the package.xml file:

<package>
  <name>OnlineTester</name>
  <namespace>OnlineTester</namespace>
  <filein>models/OTFrage.st</filein>
  <filein>models/OTInfo.st</filein>
  <filein>models/OTAufgabe.st</filein>
  <filein>models/OTTest.st</filein>
  <file>models/OTFrage.st</file>
  <file>models/OTInfo.st</file>
  <file>models/OTAufgabe.st</file>
  <file>models/OTTest.st</file>
  <file>doc/einTest.st</file>
</package>

_No_ prereqs at all, still the ~/.st/*.star got loaded.
