I think we can have a space in the shebang (it works with shells I know).
But maybe lintian do not like it (and it is a sufficient reason to accept
this trivial patch).

However, a better fix would be to run something else than python2,
like /usr/bin/env python.

Some other python scripts in tools dir may be fixed.
