Summary0000268: Command-line tools are missing
DescriptionNettle includes several command-line tools, but they are unavailable in AlmaLinux, due to being removed during the build [0]. This removal comes originally from Fedora [1], where it was motivated thus:

"Removed executables from the library to allow parallel installation of x86-64 and x86 packages. The executables had testing purpose, and may be re-introduced in a separate package if needed."

These tools are useful, and used, in their own right, not just for testing purposes, so it would be desirable to put them back in, either by no longer removing them, or by putting them in a separate package.
