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.
