Thanks, I will create temporary directory instead:
tempdir=`mktemp --directory --sufix=.aptlc`
trap "rm -rf $tempdir" EXIT
temp="$tempdir/debconf-helper.py"
cat > "$temp" << 'EOF'
#DEBCONF_HELPER_PY# <--- replaced by a real script by debian/rules
EOF
python3 -B "$temp" "$@"
Do you think this will be OK?

No, it doesn't. This code has been introduced recently to fix "debconf
is not a registry" issue. (Actually I don't really like the approach of
this tempdir/file creation, but the other option, namely making the
scripts '#/usr/bin/python3', didn't worked, because of some issues with
debconf, if I remember correctly).
