The usual way to make a package private is to do something like:

override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install -- --install-lib /usr/share/openastromod \
	                   --install-scripts /usr/share/openastromod

Then symlink /usr/share/openastromod/openastromod to
/usr/bin/openastromod. python will dereference the symlink when setting
up sys.path.
