.py suffixed scripts to /usr/bin/
I am mentoring packaging of https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python and
ATM their public python scripts (ATM 10 of them already) carry .py
suffix. At first I blindly recommended to strip those off
(https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/865) but the problem is
that there is a non-free original MNE which provides some of those
tools implemented in C. Happen MNE gets freed (and packaged) or
otherwise installed -- there would be a conflict (command line interface
differs, alternatives is not the way).
So the easiest resolution is IMHO to maintain .py suffixes, but I feel
unease about such a solution despite archive having a good number
of precedents already.
So the question is -- is there any other possible resolution I do not
see here besides just keeping .py suffixes and providing a lintian
override?
