This is an important issue. It make applications less portable, and makes it more difficult to get applications running on a Linux server. For example, I have a fairly large Perl application that I would like to port from Macintosh OS X to Ubuntu Server. Each script begins with:
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
So on Ubuntu, I get: /usr/bin/env: perl -w: No such file or directory
Package: coreutils
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed

libselinux1 (>= 1.32)

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.
Cheers,
Brian
