Unfortunately (at least if I remember correctly I came up with an
example of this lately...) also new stuff does #!/usr/bin/python and
assumes it is python3...


Do some distros set /usr/bin/python to python 3?


Honestly, I think /usr/local/bin scripts then should simply be fixed by
the admin.


It's not as if they had years to do so.

I agree.

It's trivial for anyone to manually "fix" (or break?!?) a system to have
/usr/bin/python anyway, so let's not ship Debian as already broken. :)

Unless someone opposes quickly, there's no need to wait 75 hours on this
case, as Jojo previously introduced himself in this list. He's been
doing good packaging work so far, and hopefully, his 3 packages will
soon make it to Debian.
