That was not the question. The question was whether '/usr/bin/env python2' should be patched into '/usr/bin/env python' or into '/usr/bin/python'.
The more general question was whether all the upstream packages should be "optimized". 
When the upstream contained  '/usr/bin/env python', nobody thought to "fix" it into '/usr/bin/python'.
