Deployment of cookbooks do differ from berks package

[EugenMayer]

Description

When using kitchen to converge a box, the cookbooks are put under /tmp/kitchen/ - since berks is used and the general folder structure looks like berks package has been used, it suprises, that the result is different.

For example berks package would include data_bags from cookbooks which have been referenced like

cookbook A

in the Berksfile of the cookbook we are testing.

Kitchen thus does not include those, actually excludes more then that.

4. check /tmp/kitchen/cookbooks/a/data_bags on the box, it should be missing
