Haven't gotten much response yet but:

I think the use of sys.executable means if we use /usr/bin/python2 setup.py
instead of /usr/bin/python setup.py then we'll start to get shebang lines
with /usr/bin/python2 instead of embedded /usr/bin/python.

That will get us through many of the applications that are installed by
packages.
