Hi,

We at Fonts Team are packaging utilities for building fonts from
Glyphs.app and UFO format to OTF/TTF, and we are trying to align our
package to Python Policy.

The packaging effort is in Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fontmake

We feel unsettled of the binary package naming.  Should it be:

 * "fontmake" single package
 * "python3-fontmake" single package
 * "fontmake" package for /usr/bin and "python3-fontmake" package
   elsewhere?

My personal intepretation is that since this package is not used as
python library this should be "fontmake" single package, but we need
someone from Python Teams to confirm that.

Yao Wei
