We have a python3 package already. If I saw a python3 package and a
python3-core package, I would expect that either they're the same thing,
or python3-core is a smaller and less fully-featured version of python3.

Conversely, we already have a python3-minimal package, and I would expect
python3-core to be larger and more fully-featured than python3-minimal
(or maybe the same), because by definition if it's minimal then it's
the least Python you can have. So:

    python3-minimal ≤ python3-core ≤ python3 ≤ python3-full

Changing the meaning of the python3 name is not an option right now,
because that would be a disruptive change, and we're already in the
Debian 11 freeze.

If we want to have a metapackage that is "larger" than our current python3,
then the only option that's really feasible for Debian 11 is for that
larger metapackage to have a new name that is chosen to imply "this is
larger than python3", like python3-full.

collectd-core is smaller than collectd, gnome-core is smaller than gnome,
and so on.
