The remaining cases of packages which have a dependency on python and/or
python2 are either this (packages which contain a python script with a
python shebang line), or the other case which I hadn't previously
considered - a package which contain an executable or shared library
linked with libpython2.7.dll.
So, again I need inspect these to determine what should happen to them.
