This seems quite odd to me. If a Python module contains a corresponding application that is frequently used directly, I would expect this to be installed in its own package, named like the application, and not in a pyhon3-modulename package.

If the corresponding module is rarely, if ever used, it's probably better to not produce a python3-modulename package at all, and simply put the module into /usr/share/modulename - this is described in the packaging policy: [1]

In fact, I can't find any guidance on combined Python module+application packages (except for the mentioned case of private modules) in the Debian Python Policy. If there is any, I'd be very interested as well.
