This probably provides the best rationale for why I consider this a bug: https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2011/03/msg00013.html
Scott K also quotes Debian Python policy here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2011/03/msg00015.html (which indicates that while not prohibited, D-P policy discourages it except in deliberate, specific cases). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988391 Title: /usr/bin/gtk-builder-convert has bogus #! line Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: % head -n 1 /usr/bin/gtk-builder-convert #!/usr/bin/env python While this is fine, preferable even for the development version of the script, it is destined to break in the deployed production version of the script.
