I am in the process of packaging python-pyinstaller.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084906

Currently my source package is named python-pyinstaller.  It produces two 
binary 
packages:

pyinstaller - installs executables to /usr/bin
python3-pyinstaller - installs Python modules to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

I have been following the discussion about package names and have started to 
wonder if 
pyinstaller wouldn’t be a better source package name.  That is what it is 
called upstream, 
and the “py” prefix already indicates it is related to Python.

Beyond that, I was wondering if it wouldn’t be better to only provide one 
binary file.  I don’t 
know if there is any value to the Python modules without the executables in 
/usr/bin.  Is 
there any policy or best practice that says this should be split into two 
binary packages?

P.S.  I figured I would ask now as it is easy to make changes before the first 
upload.
