No it's fine, as per the pybuild manpage:

"
  • if  more than one binary package is build: add
    debian/python-foo.install files, or export PYBUILD_NAME=modulename
    (modulename will be used to guess binary package prefixes), or
    export PYBUILD_DESTDIR env. variables in debian/rules
"

It's just unusual to see pybuild packages without PYBUILD_NAME in d/rules.

Kind Regards,
