Bug#909510: please add a lintian note to inform/warn about python in the shebang (instead of python2/python2.7)



Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

please add a lintian note to inform/warn about python in the shebang (instead of
python2/python2.7).

There is discussion upstream about updating PEP 394 to recommend soft-linking
python to python3 on newer distributions.  Not a good idea from my point of
view, but it would be better if we remove the usage of python as a shebang in
our packages.  Replacing that with python2 or python2.7 should be easy and safe.
 It would be nice if lintian could help with this task. Maybe first as a note so
we can get an overview.
