Antoine, IIRC the git_multimail.py file upstream installs into
/usr/bin is not a launcher but a full copy of the module as installed
into /usr/lib/python3. The code in that file auto-detects whether
it's run as a program.

That resulted in two copies of that sizeable file in the package I
reviewed back in June. Hence my suggestion - quoted in an earlier
message by Bo - to replace the copy in /usr/bin with a tiny launcher,
reducing the installed size of the package by almost half.

Sure, that completely makes sense then, sorry.

Sorry, maybe my words misled you also here.

Ok, I have re-enabled the launcher and other issues fixed for git-multimail
as your and jcfp's suggestions.

Thanks all and please let me know if any issues.
