For python, the binary python is provided by python-2.7.6. The binary
python3 (and python3.3) is provided by python-3.3.3. And there is
python-wrapper, which installs python-3.3.3 and creates symlinks
python -> python3 etc..

So for python, there is nothing to do - if you need python3, you already
have it.

Generally, we intend to be closer to upstream than debian, for instance;
also to keep maintenance low. So I would be very cautious about adding
symbolic links. Maybe we should rather remove those that we already have? ;-)
