Multiple app per part generate "dot" executables

[Dietmar Winkler]

Hi,

so is there any way around that. I don't want to have to multiply the
snaps for each subapplication. From a usesage perspective this pretty
much would be a show stopper to use snap over classical packages when
suddenly the same applications have to be called differently because
they have been installed as a snap and not as a deb.
