```
# cd /usr/local/bin

# rm pypy                                                                                               

# ln ../pypy-2.6/bin/pypy                                                                               

# ls -l pypy

# `which pypy`

I had a look at Debian and they seem to have quite a large patchset 
applied to pypy.  Perhaps they patch it to make it work?  

Based on the documentation from pypy it appears they think a symlink 
should work.
