99% of people I know that are developing scientific Python code are
using IPython for interactive prototyping. And most of those people can
not be considered Python developers but rather users.
On the other hand 99% of Python *developers* I know are using a
user-space bleeding edge IPython and hardly ever lay a hand on
/usr/bin/python.
But there are cases when I want to run something with an absolutely
stable, non-bleeding-edge, failsafe, non-user-space-possibly-messed-up
Python installation. And in those cases I go to /usr/bin/.. and having
/usr/bin/.. run some local user-space binaries is extremely unexpected
and can cost quite some time while wondering what is going on.

How does setting a shebang in /usr/bin/... prevent somebody from using a
non-system Python?

I can really not follow your reasoning to ignore this bug.. at all. Why
deviate from the Python Policy?
