First and foremost consistency among and predictable behaviour of *all*
Python application in Debian.
I can't say much to the specific merits of adopting '/usr/bin/python'
as default scheme, others may want to do, but the most important point
is that the "do what you see fit, but we prefer *bin/python" lead to a
wild hotchpotch of implemented schemes [1] (1-2 and 3-4) causing
different behaviour of Python applications in certain situations.
thanks for all the fish

[1] Schemes:
1. /usr/bin/python
2. /usr/bin/pythonX.Y (2.4 and 2.5 right now)
3. /usr/bin/env python
4. /usr/bin/env pythonX.Y
