Hi,

I just stepped over a problem with the new python-wrapper. If I interpreted 
the changelogs correctly, since eselect-python-20090801 /usr/bin/python is no 
longer a symlink, but a wrapper.

I find this a questionable idea simply for the overhead it causes, but it 
seems that this breaks all init-scripts using start-stop-daemon for python 
scripts.

Example:

(same issue happens with some self-written python daemons we're using on our 
servers)

I don't know what the reasons were for the change from symlinks to a wrapper, 
but if it should stay the way it is, we need a fix for those issues.
