If anything installed from outside our repos calls `/usr/bin/python`,
we break it. Unless we install the new python symlink package
alongside, but if we're doing that automatically, then how are we
testing the change? Maybe that is the intent, and I just
misunderstood.

If we test it against a symlink-less python2 package, we have a list
we can file bugs against. From that point, we can become increasingly
annoying to package maintainers.
