Thanks for this cleanup. I have stumbled over this from time to time.
The original idea was that we would have a elfutils-testsuite
subpackage someone could install to run the testsuite on their local
install. But this never happened and the code bitrot.

It also shows we probably shouldn't have shipped libasm because it
wasn't really deemed stable. But well, here we are.

Pushed,
