Ok, this is a different matter than what Sandro brought up, though.
Anyhow, I wouldn't call it "complete non-sense" but just a tad unwise,
as any non-upstreamed debian-specific change is, nothing more.
If instead of renaming that binary, it was called /usr/bin/cpuinfo my
own proposition would still make sense, and your too.

lol.
Trust me, I am very far from being an "anti-Python-3" person :D
If anything, I wish for Python 2 to be retired *soon* and python3 to
take the lead everywhere.
What I am "against" is for /usr/bin/ files to be in library packages, be
them python2's or python3's.

There is a peculiar thing about pytest: the version of python used
matters. That's different than most python /usr/bin/* things.

neither python-sphnix nor python3-sphinx ship anything in /usr/bin, so
bad example.
