python3- prefixes for binary packages are mandated by
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/index.html#module-package-names
There is no requirement for source packages to be prefixed with python-,
but it's often done e.g. to not pollute the source package namespace,
which makes total sense in your case.

This goes against the current practice.
