You can tell virtualenv to use an arbitrary python interpreter, even pypy, using `--python=/path/to/python/interpreter`.

But then I have to install the virtualenv script in every dev environment, when really the stdlib version is perfectly fine and requires no extra hacks.

It's an annoyance specific to Debian and to this day I'm not sure I understand the rationale for splitting it out of the main python3 package.
