Ok so it is a local install of an old or broken version of python in
/usr/local/bin, or something of the sort.
I suppose I could make debhelper use an explicit path to a python that
we know is in debian, but I generally dislike that approach without
very good reasons. I suppose sysadmins should be free to install their
own python, even if they do break their machine in the process. So all I
can do is close this bug report.
