Exactly :-)

As of my reply at [1], I don't think that the solution provided is
answering the problem.  I changed the title, underlying the fact that
what the end-user would probably want to modify is a variable in a
script created with

  cl-launch --output /usr/bin/script [...]

The solution provided helps at script creation, not at script
execution, which is my concern for a Debian end-user (I'd say that
this is a Debian Policy problem).

Faré, I'd suggest you to tag the bug as wontfix, the definition of
which is at [2], at least until the submitter and the maintainer won't
agree on a solution ;-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

[2] This bug won't be fixed. Possibly because this is a choice between
    two arbitrary ways of doing things and the maintainer and
    submitter prefer different ways of doing things, possibly because
    changing the behaviour will cause other, worse, problems for
    others, or possibly for other reasons
