Please do not. That will mean more work for me.

Unless someone is using them in other systems they are there just for
convenience. LyX always takes care about the proper place and it will
ignore that line.

/usr/bin/env is just adding another level of indirection (the usual way
to solve any problem in programming), it does help for portability
cases but it also has its drawbacks.

In this particular case if you change them I will have to create a sed
script to move them all back when packaging for Fedora.
