With the current setup some scripts rely on "#!/usr/bin/env python3" working and in that case /usr/local/bin/python3 *has* to be owned by the package, otherwise dependencies on python libraries get messed up. Unless there's a *very* good reason not to I'd recommend replacing 3.6 with 3.7 rather than having the two in parallel.
