Are you sure that this is worth the pain? Unsuffixed qmake is still the Qt 3
QMake (not even Qt 4), unsuffixed kde-config is still the KDE 3 kde-config
(not even KDE 4), etc., for backwards compatibility. I think changing the
meaning of "python" is unhelpful and counterproductive. Sure, without this
change, more and more users will eventually end up with not having an
unsuffixed "python" installed at all, but IMHO that's better than silently
changing its meaning.
