I tested my package(s) with specific interpreter, if administrator/user
wants to use different one, he can run "his_own_python /usr/bin/application",
I will not fix bugs reported by users/administrators who use custom
interpreter. "/usr/bin/env python" might be a good solution for local
scripts but not for system ones.
