I'm puzzled to find this packaged up in debian without the wasmtime
command. When I look at the upstream documentation, the wasmtime CLI
is the first thing it describes. It's certainly useful to be able to run
a WASI program at the command line.

Hi Joey,

This issue has been reported already, so I am merging.

I agree that ideally the whole wasmtime project is provided in Debian,
but since it requires a bunch of dependencies and alignment of those
dependencies, I found it more useful to package partly than postpone
until it was all perfectly aligned - also because the very existence of
a partly-aligned packaging may help nudge related packages into getting
aligned.

are different requests.

Getting to package the wasmtime command will get harder, as that also
involves packaging the plugin mechanism and its dependencies, which I
might not need for the wasmtime crate (with only some of its features).
