[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples: fix unusual-interpreter

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi Thomas,
I agree on both changes you suggested, but not being the scripts author I
wanted to change as few as possible.
Also thanks for taking it into consideration even if just for lintian :-)

If acceptable to you I'd ask to accept this as-is and consider the patch a
head-up for all script owners to change their headers.
