Thanks for the reminder.
Actually, upstream used to provide also some commands. In the first
version of the package, I made two binary packages in the control file:
one for the commands, one for the library.
Then I don't remember exactly what happened. It think in a later version
I dropped the package with the binaries, as I didn't need it anyway. As
of today I'm not even sure that upstream still provides some commands,
it used to be in the directory `assert/cmd`, but now there's a strange
directory `gty-migrate-from-testify` there.
In the end I kept the name `gotest.tools` for the source package,
thinking that some day someone will need the binaries, and create the
corresponding binary package. Not sure this day will come though...
And that's all for the story of this package :)
