The assembly is mostly a convenience; one jar to be provided in the command
line vs. multiple (and figuring out what those are).
For those packaging it with their app, maven takes care of things. For
those not, the assembly provides some benefit. But that's mostly if it's easily
available. If the users have to build it, then it's probably just easier to use
`--packages` and point at the non-assembly artifact.
