Package: transmission-remote-cli
Version: 1.7.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use conda to use different environments. When such an environment is 
activated, 
`python` points to a binary in that environment and when I then try to start 
transmission-remote-cli it fails (in this case because it seems to be a python2 
only script and I had activated a python3 environment).

Please consider patching the /usr/bin/transmission-remote-cli to simply use 
`/usr/bin/python2` instead of `/usr/bin/env python`.

See also 
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python.html#s-interpreter_loc
which explicitly mentions not using `/usr/bin/env python`.

Thanks a lot,

Jan
