This distribution is a collection of programs that are generally

The main purpose of these programs is to be illustrative and
educational -- to help fellow programmers understand the ELF file
format and something of how it works under the Linux platform. For
the
most part, these programs have limited real-world utility.

With the exception of shared use of the elfrw static library, each
program is independent of the others. There is no other shared code
between them, and they all take slightly different approaches to
handling ELF files.
I question how helpful this description is helpful for users of a
binary distribution like Debian, who are (IMHO) generally more focused
on functionality than studying the implementation of programs.
