Yes, I noticed in the spec a set of sed lines supposed to remove all the shebangs.
However, somehow, setup.py adds them back at some point, even replacing python with python2.

As long as, in the end, replacing python2 with python makes the application work, why should _anyone_ care?
Calibre's developer had his idiosyncrasies, why should the downstream take over his app?
