I really don't want `/usr/bin/env anything`.

In general, using /usr/bin/env is a fine tool for developers, but a terrible
tool for deployment.  It's just too easy for end users to break an application
by mucking with their $PATH.  In Debian/Ubuntu, we don't allow these shebangs
in system scripts, and in fact the package build tools will rewrite shebangs
to avoid them.
