This is done by dh_python3:

  # Automatically added by dh_python3
  if command -v py3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
          py3compile -p python3-mapscript:amd64 
/usr/share/doc/python3-mapscript/examples
  fi
  if command -v pypy3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
          pypy3compile -p python3-mapscript:amd64 
/usr/share/doc/python3-mapscript/examples || true
  fi

dh_python3 is used to rewrite the shebang, we'll just ignore the 
example-unusual-interpreter lintian issue then.

Kind Regards,
