Should I bring another option into the game: Using a mock framework like
 EaseMock or Mockito?

Let's keep it simple. It isn't a big difference to move them to core-api
or ldif-partition. The latter option is just a bit simpler to solve the
current problem. But I agree with you, moving them to core-api makes it
easier to reuse the mocks.
