That's good!

A better choice may have been --with-python=/usr/bin/python. We should
change that warning to make it clear that using /usr/bin/python is
strongly preferred.

The intent here is to warn the user if the Python they're using is
nonstandard, and prompt them to confirm that's really what they want.
For various reasons, we can't use the '#!/usr/bin/env python' trick with
EUPS, and have to hard code the binary. The concern was that someone may
install EUPS with (e.g.) Fink (as you did), then remove Fink, and then
be surprised why EUPS stopped working. EUPS should almost always work
with system python, and 99.9% of the time there's no good reason not to
use it with EUPS.

Thanks for the test!,
