Barry, we've got problems. Mailman problems, specifically.

Karmic accepts interpreters that themselves are interpreted scripts in the shebang line. Hardy, not so much, it seems.

This means that the nice Mailman build hack of ``'--with-python=' + os.path.abspath('bin/py'),`` doesn't work on Hardy. The Mailman Python scripts are interpreted as shell scripts, to poor effect.

I'm not quite sure what to do about this yet, but it definitely means I can't land the branch as is.
