I'm sorry that I had to break your workflow. The thing is, catkin_lint
is actually a stand-alone tool with its own CLI binary, appropriately
named catkin_lint. In the past, catkin_lint shipped for both Python 2
and Python 3, mostly to support non-standard ROS users who built against
Python 3 before it became the norm. These days, there's no Python 2 any
more, catkin_lint's Python code was never meant as public API anyway,
and Debian policy strongly discourages shipping programs as libraries.

The entry point for catkin_tools has been a nice gimmick, but in the
end, all you have to change is typing "catkin_lint" instead of "catkin
lint". And maybe I can soften the blow a bit with this: catkin_lint has
bash auto-completion, which doesn't work if you run it as catkin_tools
plugin.
