We used to have a python package that simply created the 
${PREFIX}/bin/python symlink to real PYTHONBIN.

This was removed on Jan. 30; the following is from cvs commit message:

   "... In order to preserve a similar behavior to this one using the
   new framework, start by installing pkg_alternatives. Then just open
   its manpage, scroll down to the EXAMPLES section, Applying filters
   subsection, and follow the (rather short) directions given there."

I have not tried it myself though.
