Hi Gian Piero

thanks for your work on that and pointing it out.

Only a small note on this, have not looked in detail how it works now.
There is already a lintian check checking for '/bin/env' usage. It
uses lintian tag 'script-uses-bin-env'.

A similar strategy could be used to get a check for '/usr/bin/env
perl' shebangs.
