Historically, we've always patch upstreams that use non-existant-on-Fedora
paths (like  /bin/perl, /usr/local/bin/python, /opt/bin/ruby, ...) to use
the path that exists in Fedora. Treating /bin differently from everything
else doesn't sound logical.

If you're patching the scripts in your package, it make more sense to use the
correct path and avoid the performance hit. If you're submitting patches to
upstream, they may demand an env-style shebang.
