The short answer is: this removal is intentional.


While preparing the latest upload, I found out that the Google Test
authors recommend against distributing the compiled libgtest library.
Instead, users are expected to directly use the sources, located in
/usr/src/test.  See the gtest README.Debian file for further details.

Long term, therefore, the plan is to remove completely the compiled
libgtest; at the present time, the shared lib is removed but the
static lib remains.

Removal of gtest-config was a side-effect of switching from the
now-deprecated autoconf-based build to the upstream-supported
cmake-based build.  Because I expected to remove libgtest in future, I
did not worry about this loss.  Thus the removal was intentional.

Sorry for the trouble,
-Steve

Hi Steve, 

thanks for your feedback! :-) Then I need to correct my own build process.
