Hm i thought this is the standard way to be able to have sourceable
scripts without the need to specify the path. For example gettext-base
ships gettext.sh in /usr/bin which behaves the same:

$ gettext.sh
GNU gettext shell script function library version 0.18.1
Usage: . gettext.sh

Im sorry if this is not the right way to do it. I chose it because i
thought it would be good if you don't have to specify the path of
shunit2 and other software does the same ;0

So just drop the /usr/bin/shunit2 script and ship it in
/usr/share/shunit2?

The added file (/usr/bin/shunit2) is quite small and is a really small,
specific, wrapper. I'll doubt if it is useful in upstream, especially since
upstream does not have an install script, so IMHO it makes not much sense to
add this wrapper to the project.
