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.  Yay.
