Python package providing both modules and an app

Hi all !

I'm currently packaging python-slugify[0], a Python application for
slugifying unicode strings. Like here[1] upstream decided to write 
everything as a python module with an entry script placed in /usr/bin
that calls main(). So we can consider python-slugify as both an application
and a library.

The package is originally requested as a Python module[2] and it seems 
clear to me that the whole thing is only useful as a library, so I've 
named the source package 'python-slugify'. It provides following packages: 
 * 'python-slugify' (Python 2 lib), 
 * 'python3-slugify' (Python 3 lib),
 * 'slugify' (ships the entry script[3], depends on python3-slugify). 

Everything is working well. However, I'm not really satisfied by the way I 
solved the problem in debian/rules[4]. Does anybody know a better way 
of doing that ?

Cheers,
 Hugo
