There are always exceptions of course. If the primary use of your package
is its command-line interface, and you don't expect other packages in
Debian to use its Python API, then shipping everything in one package
called grip is probably fine.

If upstream entry points don't work, then having your own ones is fine.

Though in my experience upstream entry points for public packages usually
worked.
