I've sent an email to tails-dev@boum.org.  I Cc'd you on it.  I wasn't
sure if the people of the tails-dev@boum.org email list would appreciate
it if I arranged for their replies to automatically be recorded in our
bug tracker, so I opted not to Cc this bug report on the email.

We'll see what they say!

I've fixed this in the latest patch version (see attached)!

While testing, I also discovered that the -b feature of the CLI tool
does not work because of what appears to be a simple bug in MAT.  I
suppose I will report that upstream if they get back to me and they're
still maintaining it.

On this topic, the precedent goes both ways, and I haven't seen any
guidance yet on the email lists or in the manual.  For example, see
packages like awscli, python2-s3cmd, jupyter, and python-ansi2html.

I think that if a package provides only an application, it makes sense
to give it a name without the "python" or "python2" prefix.  However, if
the package provides a library, or it provides a library in addition to
an application, then I think it's better to refer to it using the
"python" or "python2" prefix, as described in the section titled "Python
Modules" in the Guix manual.  I also think this aligns with Guix's trend
towards (usually) keeping libraries in the default "out" output of a
package, rather than putting libraries in a separate "lib" output or a
separate "devel" package.
