Hmm, as the package is called "glue_core" but it provides a module
called "glue" (as in: "import glue"; I wish packages wouldn't do
this!), perhaps it would be better to keep the current name and have:

source: python-glue-core or python-glue (not sure which is better)
binary: python3-glue
provides: python3-glue-core
breaks/replaces: possibly glueviz (<< ...), depending on where the
  support files end up)

And for this one, we could keep the same source name as at present, to
make less work for everyone:

source: glueviz
binary: glueviz
provides: python3-glue-gt

and then later, if wanted, there's the possibility of a
jupyter-based package; if it turns out that it provides the command
"jupyter glue" (I haven't checked), then calling the package
"jupyter-glue" with a virtual name of "glueviz-jupyter" or vice versa
might make sense.

On salsa, we could rename the glueviz.git repository as
python-glue.git or python-glue-core.git and create a fresh glueviz.git
repository for the glue-gt frontend; it might otherwise be confusing.
An alternative is to keep glueviz.git for the glue-core Python package
and create a new repo called glue-gt.git or glueviz-gt.git for the
frontend.

Best wishes,

   Julian
