Note that python-2.7 itself falls into this category as many files in /usr/lib/python2.7 still have "#!/usr/bin/env python" even when installed with "make altinstall". I can not remember the exact details, but I recall that some of these files were installed with executable permissions which would be bad, but I need to look into this again now things have calmed down... PLEASE, open a bug with this. It is a serious bug. "make altinstall" SHOULD be respected.

Done: http://bugs.python.org/issue10318
