Oh that looks very good. From a glance at debian/control some of these have interdependencies too. Ie python3-standard-aifc depends on python3-standard-chunk which is the para in front of it. And debian/rules is admirably simple. That may work. Then again the directory layout is a little different because they are all 'sibblings'. But as I have only three package, with the (old) "outer" package and two it needs as top-level directories in the main repo, maybe I can just line up the commands as per deadlib's loop. I am still mighty confused about how to (normal) install step will pick up the directories ... but the penny just dropped: as per the *.install files as you have it here. That could actually work.
