[Build-common-hackers] Bug#587373: cdbs: python-distutils.mk: Installs scripts with a versioned shebang

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.87
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi, as part of the Python 2.6 transition, I've been digging through the
packages that depend on python2.5. An awful lot of them do so because
they install scripts with a shebang of the form:

| #!/usr/bin/python2.5

dh works around this by building with the versioned python interpretors
first, and then the default /usr/bin/python
http://git.debian.org/?p=debhelper/debhelper.git;a=blob;f=Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/python_distutils.pm#l111

However distutils provides a way to force a particular shebang:
--executable

Here's a patch to pass that (by default) when building.
