Thank you for working on this package for Debian.

Is the “command-line application” just a single program file, which
imports the library and does its stuff?

If so, that file should be installed to the right place (‘/usr/bin/foo’
probably) by the build system. You then configure ‘dh_install’ to
install that file specifically to the ‘foo’ binary package.

Then you use ‘dh_python3’ to package the Python 3 library to its binary
package.
