Cron may be setting a default PATH.
e.g. from
Linux 2.6 man pages
Quote:
Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron(8) daemon. SHELL is
set to /bin/sh, and LOGNAME and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the crontab's
owner. PATH is set to "/usr/bin:/bin". HOME, SHELL, and PATH may be overridden by set-
tings in the crontab; LOGNAME is the user that the job is running from, and may not be
changed.
(I've no idea if that's the case on Raspberry though. Or on reboot, for that matter...)

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dh_python
DH_PYTHON(1) Debhelper DH_PYTHON(1)
NAME
dh_python - calculates Python dependencies and adds postinst and prerm Python scripts (deprecated)
SYNOPSIS
dh_python [debhelperoptions] [-n] [-V version] [moduledirs...]
DESCRIPTION
Note: This program is deprecated. You should use dh_python2 instead. This program will do nothing if debian/pycompat or a Python-Version
control file field exists.
dh_python is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${python:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files.
It will also add a postinst and a prerm script if required.
The program will look at Python scripts and modules in your package, and will use this information to generate a dependency on python, with
the current major version, or on pythonX.Y if your scripts or modules need a specific python version. The dependency will be substituted
into your package's control file wherever you place the token ${python:Depends}.
If some modules need to be byte-compiled at install time, appropriate postinst and prerm scripts will be generated. If already byte-
compiled modules are found, they are removed.
If you use this program, your package should build-depend on python.
OPTIONS
module dirs
If your package installs Python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_python check those directories by passing their
names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE,
/usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE and /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages.
Note: only /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages and the extra names on the command line are searched for binary (.so)
modules.
-V version
If the .py files your package ships are meant to be used by a specific pythonX.Y version, you can use this option to specify the
desired version, such as 2.3. Do not use if you ship modules in /usr/lib/site-python.
-n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
CONFORMS TO
Debian policy, version 3.5.7
Python policy, version 0.3.7

debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
