I have implemented a fix for this -- see attached patch -- but it breaks
the python-numpy build, which you nominated as example, so I'm unsure
what to do.
On further consideration, I think packages that rely on this behavior
either way are in error. The policy says that if programs can run with
any version, they must use /usr/bin/python as interpreter, so this must
be a fixed value, no matter how the build script is called or whether
the version being used for building is the default one at build time.
If, on the other hand, a program really needs a specific version
because of the way it is written, that version should be hard-wired
into the program, no matter what version you use to run the build
script.
