I assume, because these might not be proper generally usable programs?
They do not even have man pages so it's hard to tell what each
actually does.

But more importantly, I guess, because some of these use rather generic
names stomping on the global namespace.

If the first is not the case, then please rename them so that the
installed program use a namespace. Say instead of mem_image
libraw-mem-image, etc. Otherwise perhaps shipping the compiled
programs does not make that much sense? (I do not know.)

Thanks,
