[Bug 1874275] Re: focal package doesn't contain executables, only manpages

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Probably debhelper's
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/python_distutils.pm
regressed.... yet should not be used since at least 2013.

One should move mailnag to pybuild buildsystem provided by dh-python.

I'm not sure anybody will look into fixing python_distutils.pm
buildsystem.
