I admit I'm a bit unsure since it has

   Reverse complement all sequences in a file:
      fastaq_reverse_complement in.fastq out.fastq

which looks like an application as well as

   Here is a template for counting the sequences in a FASTA or FASTQ file:

      from fastaq import sequences
      ...

which is definitely a Python module.  So I keep debian-python in CC - may
be they know about a better way to distinguish.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
