I'd prefer "rewrite" since I think /usr/bin/env is almost always the wrong
thing to use in production (though I acknowledge Stefano's use case), but even
if disabled by default, this will let us recommend it and gain experience so
that it might be possible to enable by default later.

Of course, it won't affect packages that use other Python helpers, or no
helpers at all, but we have Debian Python policy for that.
