Thanks for the report.

This bit is wrong. Firstly, ldefs-boot is a generated file, and
secondly, unless Ubuntu is distributing a python3.el, it would just
break the autoload.

(if (executable-find "python3") "python3" "python")
is probably how Emacs would normally handle this kind of thing.
Or if defaulting to python3 is better (I guess it is):
(cond ((executable-find "python3") "python3")
((executable-find "python") "python")
(t "python3"))
