     The initial line of python programs is #!/usr/bin/python3.5 in build1 and #!/usr/bin/python3 in build2.
-    I believe this is actually a bug in easy_install, although there was also a
-    bug pyversions.

+    This is caused by us building multiple Python versions into separate
+    directories under {build_dir} but then installing them to the *same*
+    {destdir}.
+    .
+    If any of these builds complete in under 1 second, distutils may decide to
+    skip copying files to {destdir} as it incorrectly believes them to be
+    up-to-date. This will result in a package arbitrarily containing scripts
+    with different version shebangs and, by extension, binary dependencies.

     Timestamps of one or more directories change from build1 to build2. This is probably a debhelper issue
