Rather, there is a pure Python module that can be used by other programs (in fact, the purpose in packaging it is for Electrum to use the Python module) and an optional executable installed in /usr/bin. The Python module does not depend on the executable utility, but the executable utility does depend on the Python module (a one-way dependency, not a two-way dependency on each other).
They do:
| Package: keepkeyctl
| Source: python-keepkey
| Depends: python3:any, python3-keepkey (= 7.2.1+dfsg-1)

My understanding is that is not the Debian convention, and python3-foo packages should only install Python modules. However, if my understanding is incorrect, then I don’t have any problem combining them into one binary package.
And there is no problem with installing an executable along the library.
