The correct way to check for the python version is to figure out the
major version (here 3.8) by looking at python3, and then looking at
python<major>, here python3.8.
The versions are not matching in other releases either, e.g. bionic has
defaults 3.6.5/3.6.7, but python3.6 is at 3.6.5/3.6.9. xenial has 3.5.1
default, 3.5.2 python3.5.
This is normal and expected; changing it would not do anything useful,
just trigger a ton of autopkgtests.
