I agree that adding a dependency and pulling in python2 from the kernel
seems very wrong.

Per https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/#recommendation I think the right 
header would be 
  #!/usr/bin/env python3

That would be a (trivial) upstream change to the kernel as code is held there.
Unless it is still important to keep it also py2 executable - is it?

Per last commits on that file Stefan Raspl <stefan.ra...@de.ibm.com> should be 
best to decide where the upstream code should go to.
Even if it is py2 it should use the "env" sheband btw, see above pep link.

Title:
  kvm_stat : missing python dependency

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installing linux-tools-host, the included kvm_stat utility won't
  work:

  root@ubuntu:~# kvm_stat 
  -bash: /usr/bin/kvm_stat: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or 
directory

  Reason is that there is apparently no dependency on a python package
  from the linux-tools-host package.
