Given the large gap between python 2 and python 3 (and the fact that python 3 scripts generally don't run on python 2), a lot of script writers are beginning to use python2 references in their scripts.

aka:
#/usr/bin/env python2
and
#/usr/bin/env python3


I've tested this on every other current release out there (Arch, Ubuntu, SUSE, SLES, RedHat Linux Enterprise, Fedora) and python2 exists.

This is going to put Debian at a disadvantage as all of these scripts starting to use python2 interpreters will fail unless the end user symlinks python2 -> python2.7 (having python2.7 is less predictable across platforms)


I agree this isn't critical, but it will have quite a user impact.
