Because they are part of the direwolf distribution and referenced in the
documentation. They are not just existing utilities that are included from
somewhere else for convinience.

It's just a name conflict. The drawmap package has disappeared from testing
and unstable.

The longer term fix is to break out these utilities into a direwolf-tools
package and have it conflict with drawmap. This is not the sort of change to
be making after the freeze.

For the vast majority of users, missing ll2utm and utm2ll will not cause
problems.
