Hello,

The command chirpw -h fails with:

ValueError: empty group <argparse._MutuallyExclusiveGroup object at 0x7f525c04c410>


I think it's because of the Debian patch "remove-desktop-popup.patch"
The code using "add_mutually_exclusive_group" has been removed and then
group is empty. 
If I comment the line "desktop = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()",
I no longer get the error.
