Thanks. So the manpage doesn't say, should I add that option for the
“build” action? The “install” action? Some other action? Reading the
source for ‘dh-python’ isn't very enlightening on this.

The important part is that I need to override the shebang rewrite for
only *some* programs, and leave it with the default behaviour for
others.

How can I make it take action only for specified program files? Which
“override_dh_foo” target should I be intercepting, and how should I be
using “dh_python3 --shebang=/usr/bin/python3 foo” to affect only the
specified programs?
