Thanks, it's nice to have graphical programs for this sort of task :)

I think it's better if we include this file in our source code, since
it's not very big and Debian's code infrastructure URLs seem to change
every few years. Also, the URL is not versioned, so maybe the patch
would change in the future.

Please add an explanatory comment for this.

If possible, I think it's better to use the python-build-system's wrap
phase for PYTHONPATH. The hplip package has an example.

It works in i3, too :)
