It's also hardcoded in bin/twistd. The Makefile and the modification
to twistd are both patches that we maintain on top of upstream
Twisted.

For both twistd and the Makefile, I don't know enough about our setup
to say confidently whether we should use /usr/bin/python or python2.5
or something else. If someone lets me know, I'll happily land the
patch after UDS today (in 7+ hours from now). I'll even more happily
applaud whoever gets around to this before me :)
