Nope, the patch specifies a full path for the python binary.
Traditionally, the postinst scripts had only "python" in there, which
might lead to very strange effects when you have e.g. some development
version of python in /usr/local/bin.

(The optimization was there since ages; IMHO we could remove that, but
that's another question.)
