Yes the OS defines it, but first within Debian we still have quite a few
packages calling "python" and expecting python2, we are still chasing them
down.

Then, clearly we can never know of however many users scripts and whatnot
that require py2.

So we have decided long ago to just make the /usr/bin/python symlink
disappear: that simply removes a whole lot of uncertainties.
