yes. Note that missing ${python:Depends} or ${python3:Depends} in
Depends in most probably a bug anyway.

dh_python* scans such packages, doesn't find any interesting data and
ignores it.
The only thing I want to change is to let maintainer decide which
helper(s) should handle given binary package (the one without public
modules) in debian/control instead of debian/rules (which I was told is
not intuitive). Right now both will try to check this package and the
last one used wins - this leads to questions like "why my /usr/bin/foo
shebang points to /usr/bin/python3 instead of /usr/bin/python?" or "why
this package depends on python3?"

how about:
* package name starts with python- and contains ${python3:Depends} →
dh_python3, stop (new)
* package name starts with python- → dh_python2, stop (current behaviour)
* package name starts with python3- → dh_python3, stop (current behaviour)
* package name starts with pypy- → dh_pypy, stop (current behaviour)
* Depends contains ${python:Depends} → dh_python2 (new)
* Depends contains ${python3:Depends} → dh_python3 (new)
* Depends contains ${pypy:Depends} → dh_pypy (new)
* ignore other packages (new)
