indeed. If you have python in /opt/python/ and env can find it, none of the
Debian scripts will work because they do not know how to find their modules.
When packaging something for Debian, it is usually best to assume they are
using Debian's packages. If the user wants their own version of python, they
can make a python package and install it instead of ours.
